Hope your weekend has been a good one! I have to say I'm a little down that Murray just couldn't get enough points past the King of Tennis aka Federer but boy, what a final! I'm convinced that his time will come...
...but apart from that I've been kinda happy. Some of you may know already but the grin on my face is a result of winning PTI's Guest Star Stamper contest for January!!! I won the category for use of a previous stamp set with my scraptastic card.
The prize is a stamp set of my choice but the fact that the queen of cards herself, Nicole Heady stated: "Amy's concept revolutionized the way I look at my background sets!" is the total icing on the cake for me! Nicole is one of my stamping idols so I really am on Cloud 9! Thanks so much to all you lovely people who have commented, emailed and even facebooked me to congratulate me and let me know! I was in the dark until Saturday - that'll teach me for being too busy to check out the Internet! Much love and inky hugs to you all *MWAH!*
So what to share with you today/tonight.....well I haven't had a chance to get inky this weekend so I'm going to share a card that I made for one of my bestest ever bloggin' buddies, Kate. This card was for her birthday:
I was still on my masking kick using Friends 'til the End, and knowing Kate is a HUGE fan of Aqua Mist, this card kinda made itself LOL!
I used a Versamark pen to add some subtle shading to the flowers - I love the effect of this!
Card Recipe
(All PTI supplies)
Stamps: Friends 'til the End
Ink: Dark Chocolate/Fresh Snow
Cardstock: Aqua Mist/Stamper's Select White/Dark Chocolate

OK apologies for the quick post but tea is on the table (Mmmm, curry!) so I'm gonna go gobble that up and hope to catch up around Blogland and see what wonderful inspiration I can get from you all!
Catch ya later!

Gorgeous creation, girl! I love me some Aqua Mist! Congrats again on the PTI win! Woot! Woot! :D
Was just thinking of you today...we're talking about our trip this summer, and I'm wondering if maybe we couldn't meet up for a drink...or a Magnum, perhaps? :D
Aw, it was so well deserved Aimes. When I saw it I was so excited and I guessed you hadn't seen it as there was no mention on your blog. Huge congratulations.
This is another stunner - love that masking technique. I bet Kate adored it.
Hugs,

Aimes you really ROCK! I'm still so happy for your GSS win!! This card is perfection itself - absolutely *gorgeous* I love the monochromatic look with the masked flowers! Rhonda and I made the 2S4Y fab 5 this morning :-0!! It has been a real PEEP week :0) Wooohoooo!!

Such a beautiful card! Love the simplicity of it. And again, way to go! GSS winner! Now for a new month and all the goodness of a PTI anniversary year!
I can already tell I am going to learn a lot from your stamping style. What I need to do is get you a list of the PTI stamps I own so I can induce you to use those in a card and then I'll just CASE you. :) Lovely card Aimes.
Yippee!! I'm in the presence of card genius!! :D Congrats again on your fabulous card...and I see on the side of your blog that you are racking up the PTI awards!! Yay!! (oh, and I love the new blog look...don't think I mentioned that yet). Love this card for your friend...that deep brown on aquamist is delicious!! Thanks as well for your donation to your local Alzheimers group...I was hoping people outside of Canada would do that...it all helps...all over the world...you are too sweet :D Have a great week.
Wow!! congrats Aimes, c'est amplement mérité, j'adoooore ce que tu fais

A huge CONGRATULATIONS, well done Aimes, you must still be on cloud 9, what a lovely comment from Nichole! I look forward to finding out which stamp set you choose ;) And to see what you'll do with it.
That curry sounds rather delicious, i'm feeling very hungry now lol! xxx
Congratulations girl! It's always so great to get that kind of compliment from Nichole!
Congratulations!!!! So deserving!! And this card is so beautiful as well!!!
love the card
Such a beautiful card! Was thrilled for you, but not surprised that you were named GSS! You should have heard my husband Saturday as he avoided learning the outcome of the semifinal, turned on the tv to watch it, and the power went out. Not pretty! Luckily, he got to record and watch the final on Sunday.
what a beautiful card!
So very pretty! And congrats again!
Beautiful card! Love this set and your interpretation - need to CASE this for sure.
That card is incredibly beautiful. I love the colours you used and how elegant the card looks.
