Welcome to the first INKspirational Challenge of 2016!
For this challenge we are having a Designer's Choise
and it was my wonderful sweet teamie Kim's turn to pick a theme.
Kim (Art Keeps Me Sane) has choosen......
You have to make a Thank You card AND you have to use something new as well!
And since it's just after Christmas and Boxing Day sales (or you probably have something in your stash which you have newer used) this should definitely be possible ;)
I was sooooo lucky to get the Heidi Swapp Mini Minc from hubby for Christmas, so this is one of the first cards created with my new toy.
Here is my take on this Challenge.
Taking good pictures of cards with foil is NOT easy!
But I believe I got the angles right so the gold foil really shows.
The crow image is one I have found on Pinterest and printed with my laserprinter. I don't know who originally created this (let me know, if you know).
We are having Maaike (Cards by Maaike) joining us as Guest Designer for this Challenge. Go check out her blog and leave her a sweet comment :)
Don't forget to pop by the sweet Design Team ladies and leave them some love...
Have fun creating!

Supplies used:
Love the foiled bird image! Pairing it with the flowery pp is really a lovely idea.

The gold foiling is stunning and looks great with the floral.
ReplyDelete....GASP! Pia, your gold-foiled bird is absolutely stunning! You've certainly created magic with this fabulous new gift you received (bet your husband received plenty of hugs when you opened your new Minc! Smart man!) The floral background, doing and gold sentiment are *the* perfect accompaniments for your crow. This truly is a breath-taken-away gem! WOW! Thank you, too, for your AH-MAZING Birthday card, the beautiful die cuts and the oh-so-sweet, heart-melting note! You sure know how to make me feel special! You are a treasure, my friend!
