Be Inspired

Good Morning!

It's time for the new TAWS Be Inspired challenge.

So bold and bright!

I liked the rainbow of colours and that bold graphic diagonal.

So that's where I went with this birthday card.

I used the newly released Wish Big and my Copics to create this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bonjour!

Good Morning!

I have a cute & fun card to share with you today using 

one of Avery Elle's newly released sets, Bonjour, and it's matching dies.

 

It's such a cute set and the dies are wonderful!

I just LOVE this sentiment, don't you?

The sequins are also something special that are now available from Avery Elle.

They come in little colour grouped packets, too fun!

Thinking of you

Good day!

I'm a little late posting this, 

my little man and I have come down with a cold.

We have spent the entire morning cuddling on the couch.

He won't accept the bed, only me to sleep on!

Anyway, I'm here today to share a card made with one of the new Avery Elle release sets, Rounded Diamonds.

There is also a die set that goes along with it.
