Well, today is October 1st here in Australia and its also World Cardmaking Day! YAY!!
I've also joined a Blog Tour as well which I've never done before, so if you'd like to spend a little bit of time blog surfing this World Cardmaking Day, head over here and see all the cardmakers who have linked up!
I was actually lucky enough to sit down yesterday and get a card made as well which I really like. Inspiration was not flowing at first, so I got out my new SU catalogue cause its got some great ideas in it and I found a flower in there that I wanted to make using the Modern Label Punch! It turned out really cute, but definitely NOT mailable! lol
Let me show you what I mean!
The colour scheme I got from my Su colour coach, and it's Cherry Cobler, Pink Pirouette, White, Pool Party (new In Colour), Pear Pizazz and I threw in a light shade of yellow for good measure!
The background has had texture applied to it by using a word texture plate. I'd never used it before yesterday, but it gave just the effect that I wanted........nice and subtle!
Anyhooooooooo I hope you all have a really great day celebrating this awesome hobby that we all love share! I'm off to get my own celebrations started! lol

Such a lovely card, Karen. I love that flower you made out of the punch. Great color combo too
Hi Karen,
That is cute. I have to sleep today so can you make a card on my behalf? Sleep beats cardmaking day hands down (and will be even better in a week when that new mattress arrives hehe).

beautiful!!
PS Pool Party looks great next to Pear Pizazz, it's a fab colour choice all round. I like Pool Party & the new Wisteria, pretty colours.
So pretty, Karen! I love your colour combo and all the layering!
Such a Fab card Karen, I love all the layers & the colours are just perfect.

That flower is gorgeous! Clearly I haven't looked closely enough at my catalogue. Love all the colours you've used, and the background embossing is just right.
Ooh my goodness this card is a great example of why there was a day made just for card making...what a BEAUTY! Happy WCMD

Hi Karen,
I LOVE this colour combo - it is just gorgeous!!!!! This is such a stunning card - you work such magic with your stamps and embellishments!!
Love everything about it..stunning card.
Of course it's mailable. EVERYTHING is mailable. It just costs extra, and I think it's worth it. :)
You clever thing! I just worked out how you did that flower. Great to see you crafting my friend.
Lovely card! Fun to see those colors used together.
This card is gorgeous, Karen. I love all the layers and the colors that you used. Great job!
