Pink Elephant Day...

I love Mondays especially when the sun is shining like today and maybe Spring is not really that far away, but one of my favourite things about Mondays is that it's time for a new challenge at the Pink Elephant.

This week sees our very first 'RECIPE' challenge where we give you ingredients to use on your card from our very own Ella's kitchen.

This week the ingredients are ...

Diecuts and Ribbon

As you can see on my card I've used square die cut charms and ribbon threaded and tied through the button embellishment. I've also used ribbon to embellish the stamped sentiment on the front of my card.

The stamped flower and small flower pots are from a set of 12 really cute stamps by Personal Impressions called Hearts and Flowers.

This is the inside of my card showing the decorated panel and the panel to write a message to the recipient.

The front of my card is cut short to reaveal the decorated panel.

The square die cut charms are from a set of 4 called charms by Cuttlebug.

I stamped the images on to white and then coloured them using Derwent Inktense watercolour crayons.

On the front of the card I have used a wonderful sentiment from a Hero Arts stamp, matted this on to silver and then embellished with white organza ribbon.

All the papers used are by Making Memories and the border was created using the Martha Stewart Lace Doily punch.

I do hope you will have chance to join in our challenge at the Pink Elephant this week. It's sponsored by yours truly and I will be sending my Ribbon Holder (from last week's tutorial) and an organza bag full of organza ribbons to the winner.
