Spice Cake

Well hello there - I'm back from a lovely relaxing break on the Red Sea. Although I have to say it wasn't as warm as we expected it to be. They were having "unseasonably cool temperatures" for our first two days - in fact I was cold!! So not much crafting has been done but I do have some cards to show you that I made before we left. These are two thank you cards I made to put in with some orders from very good customers.

I used the lovely Spice Cake papers with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede and a scrap of Pool Party card,  Ruffled Ribbon in Pool Party, Modern Label, Word Window and Scallop Square punches, Charming stamp set and the sentiment is from the hostess set Faith in Nature. Matching envelopes out of the papers completed them.

Challenge card

The Simply Stampin' challenge this week is to use the following colours:

then I had to use up all the pieces I had lying around and made these two as well.
