Pink Love

Good Morning,

First of all I would like to say 'welcome' to my new followers - thank you so much for your kind comments, I really appreciate you taking the time and I love to read what you have to say about my work.

As I'm on school holidays at the moment, I have plenty of time to craft without feeling guilty and have my DT projects up to date - so yesterday I sat down to play.  Here's what I made for the 'Artistic Inspirations' challenge ...

They are currently running a 'Bingo' challenge, which I love playing along with - so I chose a diagonal line including a digi image, buttons and layers. The image is by Sherri Baldy (no. 741) and is coloured with my Promarkers, with a little added frantage powder around the edges for a bit of sparkle.  I have layered up three different backing papers from Raspberry Road, together with lots of embellishments from my stash (including a die-cut doily, die-cut border, ribbon, 'Love' ticket and a little hidden tag behind the main image).  I used three pink buttons to finish off with lots of added pearls for that extra little touch.

I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:

Peaches and Cream

Hello there crafty friends,

First, can I say a big welcome to my new followers - I hope you enjoying visiting from time to time.

I have a birthday card to show you this evening, which I made for a work colleague and also for the challenge over at 'Lili's Little Fairies' - which is 'Peaches and Cream', hence the title of my post. Here's what I made ...

This one is a 6x6" cream linen card blank which I covered with gorgeous peach paper from Raspberry Road - I am in love with these papers at the moment and if you haven't found them yet, check them out HERE. I added a second mat which is also mounted on cream cardstock and decorated with a 'Fleur de Lys' die-cut border.  The cute little image is 'LOTV - Blossom' and is coloured with my Promarkers and mounted onto a peach scalloped circle.  The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is also LOTV. Added embellishments include a piece of vintage lace, three die-cut flowers from scraps of matching paper, a little die-cut butterfly with added pearls, a couple of pearl hearts and some adhesive gems.

I would also like to enter this in the following challenges:
