Think Pink!


Morning everyone,

Hope you are all well, just popping in with a card I made following a sketch on 2sketches4you . I went with a pink theme because these papers are so gorgeous but more importantly it fits with the Breast Cancer Awareness month. I have been fortunate never to know anyone sufffer from this disease, but I know lots of people out there have so this card is for you and I attach to it, a great big hug.

Here are the details
  • Image: Sweet Ebony from Sugar Nellie
  • Medium: Promarkers
  • Papers: K & Co
  • Ribbon, flowers, beads and brads from stash

I bought a border punch (nothing fancy!) to do the scallopy bit, need a bit more practise with it, but I love the effect, you can't see it to good in the photo but it's really pretty.

I was also working on a 'spooky' card last night and after much colouring, realised I had no black card doh!!! how can one make a spooky card with no black!!!! so it's off to the shop this morning in the pouring rain with 2 kids to get some!!!

Anywoo, thanks for stopping by, have a great day

Beautiful pink card Gill and I love the border punch, gorgeous colouring as always. Sorry to hear the weather isn't too good. Sunday wasn't good here but we have been lucky and the last two days have been bright. I'll load your card up on the slide show for everyone to admire, Hugs, Nikki x
