Hello everyone, and welcome. It's time for another Papertrey Ink Blog Hop and this time we were given oodles of inspiration to choose from. You may remember that my eldest son and his girlfriend were buying their first house, and all has gone well so they get the keys tomorrow. I wanted to make a congratulations card for them and was inspired by the colours in this photo
I've had autumn rose for a long time but not used it, so this colour combo gave me an excuse to break it out, and I came up with this card:-
They will be receiving this tomorrow along with some Champagne and a these glasses that I etched a little while ago
to go with a meal I am sending them to have on their first night in the new house. I think I'm just as excited as they are!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the Hop.
Hugs

Love this pretty card. Nice to see you focus on Autumn Rose, an underappreciated color. Love the stitching on your border. And, those etched glasses--just amazing.
What a charming and thoughtful gift, Carol! Those are beautiful flutes, and the card is adorable!
Oh wow Carol, they will so treasure this awesome gift of glasses and bubbly as well as the wonderful fun card.
