Birthday Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik Iris with CTMH Adventure Paper Fundamentals

Hello friends.  It has been a really hot summer here in Southern CA and I am sure it has been the same for other areas as well.  I hope all of you are enjoying your summer; or whatever season you are currently having.  

I created this card using Ching-Chou Kuik Iris.  Isn't she gorgeous?!  I love this sweet image. I hope you enjoy my creation.  I am using the new CTMH Paper Fundamentals with the new cardstock colors; and I am in love with them.  CTMH has 8 new colors and they are such beautiful, bright, bold colors They came out August 1st in our new CTMH Annual Inspirations book.  I also had a new die I had to try.   I am not sure if I have ever used it or not.  Click here for the latest CTMH Idea book.   

We would love for you to enter the Ching-Chou Kuik "Let's Go Neutral" challenge.  Click here for the challenge.    We are looking forward to your fabulous creations.

As You Like It Challenge - My favorite paper/company and why.  I love CTMH cardstock.  It is easy to work with, beautiful colors and cuts easily in my Cricut.


CTMH New Pansy Cardstock is behind card; because top doesn't show up on white background.
