Pretty In Pink

This week at Just Add Ink we have been challenged to create  in monochrome which means using one color or colour family.  I have decide to use pink as I am going to a baby shower at the weekend and the baby is going to be a girl so that is  why I decided I would go Pretty In Pink for this card.  I also decided to enter this card in the SUO Challenge which was to make a baby card.

I used the Baby Bundle stamp set which I first stamped the cute little pram with versamark and heat embossed with  white embossing powder.  I then sponged with Blushing Bride and used the Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose Stampin' write markers to add detail to the pram and colour the other stamps.  I used the Scallop Border Punch to decorate the edges and added some Victoria Crochet trim and a heart shaped Bitty Button, both of which are available from the Summer Mini Catalogue until 31 March. I also added some Dazzling Diamonds to the hearts on the sentiment and the Bitty Button has been applied with a glue dot.

All this was stamped on to Very Vanilla card stock.  The card base is Pink Pirouette with a mat of Pretty in Pink card stock.

Just Add Ink # 50

Well this weeks challenge from the fabulous Just Add Ink ladies is a colour challenge. They are such an inspiration to us all. The colours they have chosen are:



So this is what I have come up with.  It is a birthday card for my darling daughter Anna who is 19 today. Happy Birthday Sweetie hope you are having a great day.  We did take her out for lunch.

I decided that I would also make it as a gate fold card (think that's what it is called) as I have seen these on other blogs and thought that it would be fun to try something I hadn't tried before.











This a look at what the inside looks like

I have not used any dazzling diamonds for this card but instead have used Rhinestones and Pearls as Anna is a young lady who loves her bling and the So Swirly wheel is one of her favourites.  She loved it but did ask where was the dazzling diamond LOL.
