Pink and Girly

Hi all I have some wonderful news to share with you and that is I won card of the week at Karens Doodles and was chosen in the top 3 at both 2 Sisters Challenge and Tuesday Throwdown, wow, I am on top of the world, thank you ladies for these wins.

I have made something a little different today, I think my creative juices are starting to flow, lol, I have made a Shadow Box card.  It folds to an A5 size so is quite large after using mainly 6x6 card stock.

I found some beautiful pink card-stock in my stash, at first I thought it was pearlescent but it is quite rough to the touch so not sure what it's called.  I used one of my Grande Nestie Dies to cut the centre aperture, I found some gorgeous pink paper that I got from Elusive Images, while I was a member, and used this on the inside.

I have used two of my new rubber stamps called Dolly Pip and Cherry Pip both from Funky Kits.  I stamped them with Momento Tuxedo Black ink, coloured with Copics then cut them out.  Dolly Pip I cut out twice and 3d'd her in the centre, Cherry Pip I stamped once then cut her out and adhered her to the front by way of silicone glue.  I found my pink daisy lace which I fixed around the centre aperture, I punched out 2 butterflies, then added liquid pearls for their centre stem, I used my die cut for the white pearlescent leaves and added lots of flowers, my final touch was to add a lace bow in the centre just above Dolly Pip.

I would like to thank Nic aka Coops for so much inspiration, I first saw these little cuties on her blog and fell in love with them.  I want to thank you all though as you all inspire me so much, I would not be able to do this if it wasn't for my wonderful blogging pals.

I have taken two photos so you can catch a glimpse of the gorgeous paper in the centre.

Hi all today I have two cards to show that I have made for some challenges:

My first card I am entering into 

Paper Sundaes - Lots of Layers

OSAAT- Use a Digi (Both Cards 1 & 2)

Totally Papercrafts - Autumn

Elizabeth Bell's World Challenge - Photo Inspiration (use at least 3 colours)

For my card I have used 3 Bearlymine dp, the image is an Elizabeth Bell's digi image called A Tasty Read, I have coloured her with Copics then distressed the edges with both Vintage Photo and Worn Lipstick TH ink. I have also added a metallic green leaf, some die cut leaves, brown vintage lace, flowers and butterflies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My second card I am entering into the following challenges:

OSAAT - Use a Digi (cards 1&2)

CES - Gorgeous Girls

Saturated Canary - Sketch. 

I have used a Saturated Fairy image called Gypsy Dancer, as soon as I saw her I thought of the song sung by Cher, Thieves, Thieves, Tramps and Thieves, I just had to have her.

I am not sure my colouring of her has done her justice, I used Copics and wanted to create a sort of suede effect, I think I failed, never mind.  the papers are V&A Vintage Linen, I added a SU ribbon, bow and yellow buttons, I did stamp around the image with my 'sand' effect stamp.

I hope you like my cards and thank you for visiting. Hugs to all.
