In-Colours & Expressions in Ink

The Theme for our Blog Hop this month is “In-Colour” & I have made a gift pack of Birthday Cards using the 5 In-Colours – Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Pale Papaya.

I also used the Artistically Inked Bundle (stamps and dies) along with Adhesive-backed sequins from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack and the In-Colour Ribbons.
