A Touch of Old and New

I can't believe it has been a week since I got home from my holiday in QLD, and that I have only made one card since coming home!  It prompted me to go searching for inspiration and I found a couple, well three, challenges that took my fancy.   



Mojo Monday, Colour Throw Down, and Hand Stamped Sentiments. There were a couple of others that caught my eye, but you can only fit so much onto one card! Don't forget to pop over and check out what all the design teams have come up with to inspire us.




With the new Idea Book & Catalogue just around the corner the current hostess sets will be retiring so I thought I would take this opportunity to give them another inking up before saying good bye.  I wasn't sure if there was too much pink, but I think the Soft Suede breaks it up sufficiently.  The flourish is from the Creative Elements stamp and I think it works well on the back panel.  I know a few birthday girls at the moment, now I just have to pick who to send this to!

Happy Stamping
