Raspberry Suite #3

Another Dawn McVey challenge...This one was a lot easier. :)
This color combo is just beautiful.  I used Kraft (SU), PTI's Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush and Vintage Cream.  There are so many possibilities--in fact, I made two cards with it. I needed to stock up my b'day card supply.  This first one uses Friends 'Til the End (again--love it!).  I just looped some ribbon scraps to the side to add a little interest.

I love how this second one turned out.  I wish I could capture it better in a photo.  Each of the circles is punched out of different colored cardstock.  I used 1 1/4", 1 3/8" and 1/2" circle punches.  To get the ring, I punched the (smaller) 1 1/4" first, then went back over it with  the 1 3/8".  Lots of fun!

Card #1
Paper and ink listed above
Stamps: Friends 'Til the End, Birthday Basics (stamped in Berry Sorbet on Kraft looks like red)
Other: PTI ribbon--Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush, Vintage Cream satin

Card #2
Paper and Ink listed above
Stamps: PTI Mixed Messages
Other: Punches listed above, PTI Pure Poppy Satin

    These turned out fantastic! The more that I see with all of these colors together, the more I am loving the combination. I love what you did with the punches. Very creative...like your own specialty designer paper!
