Everyone should have a friend like Gail...

Everyone should have a friend like Gail aka Ionabunny of Crafty Nomad fame!

So, I was wanting to make a birthday card, but Mr Mojo had packed up and left town. A little FB chat with my mate Gail and hey presto, she's found me a sketch to get the ball rolling, and a card is made within the hour. Thanks so much, Gail, you're one in a million!


I mangled this sketch:

And took my colour inspiration from Seize the Birthday where the Toppings are Dichromatic 


and Colour Hues who're playing with Navy and Pink for Challenge #35. The DT cards are fabulous on all three sites  - I really wish I could make cards like those guys do!

The stencil and the flower stamps are from MFT, and I accidently mixed my own blend of Distress Ink when I used a Festive Berries covered sponge in the Picked Raspberry ink. I liked the combo, so grabbed a craft sheet and mixed-up a little more! 

Happy crafting, everyone!

It's a wonderful CAS card Jo, the colours are so nice - I like pink and navy together... as for Gails help and inspiration, she got me moving to join the CCC again and that really encouraged me to make a card and the holidaying mojo creeps back little by little, have a wonderful day Robyn
