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

Fabulous card mum. The stamped image is lovely and I love all the pieces you have created and put together. Hugs Annie x
Beautiful card..loving that sentiment, just right for Hels' challenge !
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!
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!!
