Stampin' Up! Eastern Beauty

Thursday was our card group meeting and we also celebrated Sue's birthday. She got some lovely cards from the group and I forgot to take a picture of them and the group! BUT, I did get a photo of her cake!! You know where my mind runs...
It tasted as wonderful as it looked. Meg did a great job of picking it out from Publix bakery. That decorator earns his/her money!

Speaking of decorating, here are the cards we made...



Sue provided lunch and the card kits! I decided to CASE the third one today and enter it in Just Add Ink #393..."Colour"
 
Here you go...
The stamp set and dies can be purchased as a Bundle here. This set is so versatile and I haven't even begun to touch the tip of the iceberg with it. I think this is only the second time I've used it so I hope it sticks around for next year!

My card base is Whisper White and the mat is Crumb Cake. The Lemon Lime Twist strip is from the Eastern Palace DSP. I used Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide for my cut outs and Tranquil Tide for ink. The center circle is stamped with two stamps from the set. The center of the "flower" is a Gold Faceted Gem.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

  5. Your use of the colours is so beautifully balanced, Karen. And I love how you've layered the medallion elements to highlight your sentiment too. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
