Iron Man Competition

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

My lovely friend, Nicola, is taking part in her first Iron Man competition tomorrow (I'm sure she will say it is her first and last!)

It is a rather gruelling competition; consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a marathon 26.2-mile run, raced in that order and without a break. So I thought I would make her a card to wish her luck.

It's a basic Z fold card which is perfect for this type of card, well I think so anyway.

Best of luck Nicola, I know you will be brilliant.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

The lovely Heidi Smith designed our sketch this month and here it is:

Last April was the first time I had taken part in this blog hop and I used the retiring In Colours 2014 - 2016 for my card so I decided I would do exactly the same with this card using the retiring In Colours from 2015 - 2017, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. 

I used the In Colour paper stack in all the colours then I stamped 'For you' on a piece of Mint Macaron and die cut using the layering oval framelits, I matted this on top of Mint Macaron paper stack. I then stamped and punched three flowers using the Petite Petals stamp set and punch, sadly these will also be retiring at the end of May.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you like this weeks card.

Don't forget to use the buttons below to continue hopping.

Until next week
