Celebrate!

Hello, happy Friday.  It's great that this week is over!  I got a nasty gastro bug and spent 2 days sick off work, back at work today and it was a very long 9 hour day playing catchup...*sigh*  I have knocked over a couple of cards which I'm posting tonight.

This is my entry into a new challenge blog I discovered recently. Plus it fits into a couple of old favourites as well.  I absolutely LOVE these colours!  Enjoy!

Picture Perfect Creations ~ Colour Combo #72  Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White

Papertake Weekly ~ Things with Wings

This week at the Friday Mashup Kim brings us a great challenge in the form of a Gatefold card with the Mashup option of using numbers. So here's all you need to do...

1. Create a card that uses a "Gatefold" .
2. Create a card that uses "Numbers". (stamped, die cut, chip board etc)
3. or "Mash it Up!" and create a "Gatefold Card using Numbers"!

I chose to only do the Gatefold card and started playing around wtih a few stamp sets and some embossing powder and sponges and ink and well, here's the result.

The colours I've used here are So Saffron, Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White.  I really like the soft yellow mixed with the purples.  Here's the inside of the gate card.  The front panels continue on and then there is a centre panel for that special hand written message.

The ribbon wraps all the way around the card and ties in a bow at the front to keep the card closed.  Hope you are inspired by my card and the ones created by the rest of the Design Team over at the Friday Mashup.
