I missed last fortnights challenge as when I came home from holidays I wasn't well. I still am not right but I will be back at my actual paid job tomorrow. 

Here is a pic of our family on holiday at James Bond Island.

Now onto the project I have made for this fortnights challenge using the new Happy Hibiscus that will be available as an Online Exclusive from November.

It is a bundle with a hybrid embossing folder which cuts out the Hibiscus Flowers as well as embosses them. To be honest I have never used one of our hybrid folders! I really love this one...

This just screams Christmas to me! and what better way to use it on a brand new Christmas set that literally arrived in my hands yesterday.

I was that keen to blog it the glue hasn't quite dried on the background.

I love using the dies to make texture on the back of the card and the only stamping was the sentiment.

To be honest with you all, these are not colours I would normally choose but it was a challenge for me to use them.

I did a card class using the gorgeous Layers of Beauty stencils as the set was still on my desk from the last Colour INKspiration challenge that I participated in, so I thought I would replicate the card in these colours and I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

I was going to stamp the outline but forgot, oh well still looks good and it works well with only two inkpads used. Tone on tone was done with the masks as each layer was darker than the one before to get the depth of the flowers and leaves.

Here is the card I did for class.

This you would think should be an easy one.... But my favourite colours change all the time!!

I picked 3 gorgeous colours that work so well together for this card.

This challenge also works in with the Global Design Project Challenge of using circles.

So very pretty. 

The colours I chose for this card were Shy Shamrock, Azure Afternoon and Petuna Pop!

Beautiful.... The technique I used was the Floating frames technique using the amazing Spotlight on Nature Dies... Stunning!

I already have someone to give this to as well and I know she will appreciate it.
