One more Birthday card, Just Add Ink #357


I have lots of birthdays this time of year.  Hubby, Me, grandsons, a brother who passed away at age 30, how do you send a card?  Such a long time ago, but I always think about him this time of year.

I think I need the Motorbike set for him, he loved them and was the mechanic for his group for all the motorcycles.
This one is a bit feminine for him however, I do tend to love those kinds of cards.  I'm afraid I was pulling down sets all over the place for this card, it's just like that sometimes.  I even got out the Papillion Potpourri set.  It's been in the catalog for a long time, mine is old enough it's still in the old style case. I need to get it out more, such a pretty set, but :( the bitty butterfly punch used here is retiring.   I'm keeping mine, along with this set and the bold butterfly dies and the Butterflies thinlits.

Anyway, Just Add Ink had a color challenge this week. Some great colors! Go here to check it out.


I have to admit, Sahara Sand is my least favorite color in the SU line up.  I do have a pack of the CS, just so in case I need it, but I've never gotten the ink. Sometimes I think I should, but more interesting things come up to purchase. Don't tell on me though.

I wish I could give you sizes for all of my layers, but I am an eyeballer.   My card base is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", open at the bottom.  and from there I just started cutting pieces and trimming until the fit the way I liked.

Wishing You, Just Add Ink #356



It's hard to see the copper effects on this one. But, the DSP on the edge is copper foil and the sentiment is copper embossing along with glimmer paper balloons.   It might show better if you click on it and bring it up bigger, I'm not sure.

I used Pink Pirouette for my face CS, and a 1" piece of the copper foil DSP on the edge, leaving just a bit of the pink peeking though. Simple and effective. I think anyone getting it will be very pleased.

I was thrilled to be the winning card of the week last week at JAI!  It's always fun if and when that happens, and it doesn't happen often.

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter weekend, and here we are ready for another one.  Of course I'm retired do everyday is a weekend day. LOL.

Happy weekend, and thanks for looking.
