Hello! I am playing with some challenges today. When I saw the inspiration card at the bottom of this post, the first thing I thought of was this older stamp set I have and my new Versafine Clair inkpad that I purchased just in the color Paradise.
It is a lovely ink, and it is more slick than expected! I did smear an image at first, but it was not really a problem after I got a feel for it. It stamp so solidly! (I also want to note that it is a touch more aqua, in real life, than pictured.) I have all the ink cubes for regular Versafine, but I will be putting more of the Clair inkpads on my wish list as they have really great colors.
I popped up my sentiment on fun foam, and then fussy cut out two flowers in black and popped them up too. I like this look a lot! It is a little bit traditional and fussy, but still has lots of white space. I added three little dots of black Nuvo drops to finish off the card.
Supplies: Gina K Designs Made with Love stamp set, Versafine Clair Paradise ink, Versafine Onyx Black ink, Spellbinders circle die, Cuttlebug Decorative frames embossing folder, Nuvo drops black.
I would love to play along with City Crafter’s 406 Birthday Celebration with the below inspiration card! Also, I would love to enter SimonSaysStamp’s Wednesday Challenge - Happy Birthday!
I know your time can be used in many ways so I am glad you chose to visit me for a bit today!

Gorgeous card Heidi! Stunning colors.
Wow! That is an awesome shade of blue. I love your wonderful card.
This is one gorgeous card, and I've never heard of the Versafine Claire inks, but they sure do look fantastic here! Nice job!
Lovely card. I too like the pop of black against the blue. You rocked this one out.
This is so pretty Heidi! just love the vivid blue colour and those gorgeous flowers too ;) Viv x
That ink does stamp just lovely, I love your black flowers popped up to frame the sentiment
Hi Heidi, a beautiful card, love the bright colour you used against the crisp black and white. Have a wonderful weekend... Megan
Lovely layered elements, all work together nicely. Beautiful as usual, Heidi!
I didn't see this in the CCCB gallery - I was just visiting you anyway - but as soon as I saw it I knew it was a case of Samra's card. I love how you've adapted it but made it equally gorgeous.
Beautiful, love the layers and LOVE the colours.
Thanks for sharing with us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Have a great day x

Oh Heidi, please do not tell me how wonderful a new Clair *versafine ink is 😉 I’m on total buying ban for a good while now.
I do wish they wouldn’t keep bringing out more yummy things..
I really LOVE your card, gorgeous images and colours and layout. Very imaginative indeed.
