Long time no blog! How are you all? I've been getting a bit of stick from some friends for not blogging in a while, life has just been a bit to hectic.
Today's card is using a sketch from Peachy Keen Stamps Challenges, and a colour combo from Inkspirations Challenges.
I loved the sketch, but did struggle a bit. The card above was how it started life, then I pulled the stamped image from 'Artistic Etchings' off and replaced it with a Big Shot flower using the Fun Flowers die (thanks for lending it to me Mara) from Stampin Up's Mini Catalogue.
The new version is more fitting for the person it's for, my 15 year old niece who is off to Newmarket Jockey training college in a week or two. We had a big party last night at my sister's house to give her a proper send off. It's a residential college and she will turn 16 whilst she is away.
So the colour combo, it's Poppy Appeal, Baja Breeze, Peach Parfait and Whisper White. I wasn't sure about the Baja Breeze, but once I put the flower together I liked it.
The sentiment is from the Sale-A-Bration set 'So happy for you'.
Thanks for stopping by!
