CQC203 HAPPY BIRTHDAY.....

Happy Tuesday!

Hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend??? Ours was pretty much rained out :(.... Sarah did not get to ride in the Peanut Festival...she was so crushed....me too :( !!!

Anyway, we did get a chance to go and see some fun movies. Did you all see *We're the Miller's* yet...funny for sure!?! Mimi and I also had the chance to see the new Disney movie *Planes*...super cute story!

Well...if you have some time how about joining us for this weeks Color Q???

Here is the new CQC203 color palette for you to try....

At first I was planning on making a baby card, but then I went through all the stamp set's that have not seen any ink yet and decided to make a *flower* card :) !!!

I decided to use the Beautiful Blooms II Set from Papertrey Ink. All of my images where inked with the required SU colors on to another piece of paper before I actually stamped them to the White CS....this allowed me to make the colors look a little softer :) !!! Hope you like it?!?

Have a fabulous day...I'll be back on Thursday with a new card...see you then!!!

                                                               Hugs, ~Silke~
