The Pink Elephant

That is the name of another wonderful challenge blog I have found and their theme this week was Pink, Green & Brown
Now those are colours that I love so just had to do it, didn't I?
I had some lovely new Card Candy sent to me by a crafting buddy, what a lovely surprise that was today. They were just perfect for this and they are the 3 'dots' at the top left. The paper is by Basic Grey - 'Sultry', the flowers are a mix of primas, the ribbon is American Crafts. The great image is a download from Pink Petticoat, which was cut out using my Nestabilities, Classic Scalloped Circle and a larger brown to matt. The tiny sentiment tag was out of my image stash. I coloured it with PM in Blossom. Pearls and misc.pink base card from my stash also. I was quite pleased with the end result and it only took me a tiny amount of time compared to my previous card.

Pink, Orange & Brown - Hot Chocolate!!

This was the theme over at Papertake Weekly Challenge and thoroughly enjoyed it. Out comes my greatly overlooked orange Bazzill card, why do so many peeps dispise the colour orange?, it is so vibrant. The Penny Black image which I had already coloured with Marvy Le Plume pens but did the balloon in vivid fuscia pink Sakura Gloss, was ideal. The papers, pink and brown were Basic Grey...what else? the ribbon American crafts and the gems out of my stash.
I have scored either side of the ribbon for a bit of added interest.
The sentiment stamp was out of a set of unmounted acrylics.
