Lots of Inkyliciousness......(is that even a word?)

Hi everyone, home again after a lovely week in Jersey....beautiful island, fab company, so despite the changeable weather, we had a great time. Just time to fit in a couple of blogs before we go off again in 3 weeks time ;-)

Todays card was made with cardstock from 

PAPERMILL

It was last weeks 'special offer', but I think there may be some left.....if you're quick! (plain white, 265 gsm)

All the SPECIAL OFFERS have 10% off at the moment, and there is also a competition on the Papermill blog HERE , to win a box of fab cardstock. So....what are you waiting for??

All inks on this card are from the fabulous selection at OAK HOUSE STUDIO they are my favourite inks, I just LOVE them!

ALL stamps are from Inkylicious....I've had some of them for ages, and have promised myself to try using all my stamps at least ONCE. It will still take me years to get through them all, though.

Got to say, this is one of my most favourite cards in a long while....I just adore the colours.

Well, that's all for now, hope you've enjoyed your visit, pop back soon.

Have a great weekend.
