Sunday Stamper's Challenge 209. ' Pink '

Another Monday morning folks, doesn't the week fly in ?.  Over at Sunday Stampers this week the theme is ' Pretty In Pink ' and beleive me our Princess Hels does not make it easy, she is such a hard act to follow, but I like a challenge and so I spent yesterday making a card that I think fits the challenge.    The stamp was a Christmas gift a few years back from a crafty friend and I had never used it at all, no idea why.  However, I embossed a piece of pink pearlised card with the rose pattern folder and a piece of chocolate brown card with the leather look folder ( sorry it does not show up very well ). I added them on to my base card not before adding some dotty ribbon & a bow.  I decoupaged the ladies hat and added on some lace & flower from WO.  The rest of the stamp was coloured using promarkers, not my strong point I have to say. The feathers on both hats were from the tails of my younger daughters bantams.  The top border was my trusty MS punch.  I love this sentiment from Artistic Outpost,  it was just meant to be for this challenge I think, it was layered on to a SB die that fitted to a tee.   The DI were Tattered Rose, Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint .  I hope you all know how much I appreciate all your lovely comments and I think most of us crafters feel the same.

Enjoy your week. Happy Crafting.   Hugs Rita xxx

What a fabulous sentiment Rita! I really like your combination of both colour and elements. I can't magine any bantams were harmed in the making of your art!!! They set of a very jaunty lady indeed!

Rita said...

I could never hurt any bird or animal Julie. They are always shedding their feathers, so Gran recycles them LOL. Hugs Rita xx

What a lovely card, Rita. I like the way you've "de-pinked" the pink with the brown leather effect - makes it really classy. I love the use of the feathers. Birds are always shedding them. My sister gave me a whole lot of peacock feathers recently - she says she's always picking them up!! The bantam feathers are so pretty with their subtle brown speckles - just right for this card.

Thanks so much for your comment on my blog about my dad's birthday card. I think he will enjoy it - he was very intrigued by my castings of clock parts, many of which he supplied to make the moulds. As for my health - well, up and down, you know! Slept better last night but didn't get up till 11.30! At least I feel a bit more like doing things now - have to grab every opportunity!!
