Thank you for stopping by my little corner of blogland this evening.
I wasn't going to join in this month as I had no tissue paper - I can distinctly remember wrapping a gift in my last delivery of tissue with my stamp order - but then I needed a bit of retail therapy yesterday to cheer myself after a tough week at work so I went to my favourite shop in Beaconsfield and bought a lovely pink linen shirt. Guess what they wrapped it in.........
In fact the shirt is a slightly paler colour than Raspberry Fizz so I went with that for my quickie card.
I cut loads of layers of the tissue with my Dahlia nestability in different sizes and found this pretty pink brad in my stash.
The stamps are all from Giga Guidelines and inked up with Raspberry Fizz and Dark Chocolate on to Craft cardstock. I finished it off with some dark chocolate ribbon.
I took my layout from another of the Go-To sketches - just love that book!
Have a great evening - it's getting a bit late here so I will spend the rest of the evening hopping around the great inspiration of the hop!

How did you get that delicious flower so puffy? Love it and it is a great card. I love those background stamps, too, as well as the Razz Fizz colors. Great job.
Gor-jus, Chris! Raspberry Fizz is my favorite PTI color, so I'm predisposed to like your card, but it's just darned pretty. I have yet to ink up Giga Guidelines, and I need to get it out and dirty now! :-D

Your flower is gorgeous and I love the colors you used. My hubby just brought me home the Go To Sketches magazine. I am so excited to give those sketches a try.
Another beauty Chris!! Oh boy, now I want to rush home and crack into my Nestabilities flowers. What a great way to use the dies!
