In The Pink

Good morning hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Its lovely and sunny here in Blackpool at the moment!  Over at Hobbycutz we see the start of a new challenge and the theme this week is Pink!  We are sponsored by Aurora Wings and I was given the beautiful Masquerade Owl to play with - thank you!  Here is my card:


Isn't she gorgeous? There are some fabulous images available if you have not seen any before its certainly worth having a look.  I coloured her with my Copics.  I cut the image out with Dienamics Ovals Stax and made a frame using the dies.  She is matted on Spellbinders Floral Ovals.  The paper is Craftwork Card as is the flower and post card.  I stitched around the edges (I know its very wonky lol). The leaf flourish is a laser cut from Hobbycutz which I have painted with some acrylic paint to match the card.  I thought I would go for a softer pink for my card.  Here is another view:


I don't know is anyone has noticed but the paper pads from Craftwork Cards say 6 x 6" on the front but they are actually 5 and 6/8" square hence my large borders!

Please go over to Hobbycutz and have a look at the rest of the DT work for some more inspiration.

Challenges I would like to enter:

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
Crafty Calendar - Petals and Pearls
Addicted to Stamps - Anything Goes
Just Inspirational - Anything Goes
Ladybird Crafts Ink - Anything Goes

Thank you so much for looking today I hope you have a wonderful day! Take care xx

    Your card is gorgeous Susan. I love the image, beautiful papers and fabulous detailing.
    How annoying that the paper is smaller than it's supposed to be!

    What a gorgeous card Susan and I bet you enjoyed colouring that lovely image in. The image, colour and papers go together to make an oh la la vintage feel to your card. Watch out, stitching becomes addictive.
