The Pink Elephant Day...

and maybe quite a sad one as after being a DT member since the very beginning of The Pink Elephant I have decided that at the moment I just haven't got enough time to do justice to being on the team.  I'm really sad to go as all the girls on the team are so lovely as well as being ultra talented, but sometimes something has to give.  I've decided that I want to take a break and concentrate on other things - new job - new challenges, etc.
Anyway enough of being slightly morbid and on to this week's challenge which is a colour challenge and as you can see from my card our colour theme is 

'COOL AQUA'.  

Silly me chose a paper to match the cool aqua Promarker pen and then ended up paper piecing Tilda's dress - hmmmmm just the daft sort of thing I'm doing at the moment.  Those hormones have a lot to answer for - I'm gonna swing for the one that turns the heating on full blast in the middle of the night.  That really is no joke!

Materials used...
  • Magnolia Tilda in party dress - one of my first Tilda stamps and I still love her
  • Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder
  • Nesties
  • Cuttlebug tag die
  • small sentiment for Popcorn the Bear stamp set 
  • Aqua patterned paper and pearlescent card from stash
Challenges...
Have a great start to the week everyone.  I've just returned home from work to find that yet again my scheduled post didn't work - really strange it was okay when I left it, but changed to a draft when my back was turned - weird!!

A fabulous card to finish with Ann. Love the papers. Hope your hormones sort themselves out soon. The team at TPE are certainly going to miss you, but it's understandable that you have had to give up.
