Pink again!

Hello lovely people,

It's not my fault this time, I *had* to do it...you see our challenge theme over at Crafty Little Fairies this week is...

Pretty in Pink!

So, I had no choice...not that I was complaining though - lol!

Our fabulous sponsor this week is Live and Love Crafts and they have the most wonderful products to choose from, including some pink ones!

I had a rummage and found some pretty Maja Design DP that I hadn't used yet and decided it was about time I inked up Gardener Gayle again - my only SC not in digi form!
I have gone for a slightly distressed feel on this card; I roughed up the edges of the DP with a Tim Holtz distressing tool and added some ink to the flowers and tag.

She is so lovely to colour up and suits the pink perfectly I think!  I tried to keep the colours muted to match the DP and shabby feel.

Here's an angled shot to show you the pretty flowers - I really must use this die more often as it is so nice to cut the flowers from matching DP for that perfect co-ordination!  And no, I didn't drop a few pearls, I just thought I would try out a few sprinkled here and there and liked the effect :-)

A Gorjuss birthday fairy

Hello lovely people,

Our theme for the Totally Gorjuss challenge this week is 'Happy Birthday' so a really easy one for you!  We are sponsored by Whoopsi Daisy so I have used one of their images and surprise, surprise, I've gone for a fairy!  I am always drawn to the fairies but they do have other pretty images too!

I had to make this card in double quick time so it was a super simple layout and NO stitching or embellies!  Unless you count a bit of stickles and a few pearls :-P
I picked up the ric rac in a tiny little shop whilst on holiday in the Peaks last week; they had so many gorgeous ribbons I had a hard time not buying a metre of everything!
