Cute ballerina

Hello lovely people,

I'm still all over the shop with what day it is this week but I really think I could get used to working just 2 days a week!

So, having figured out it's Thursday that must mean it's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme for you is...

CUTE

We are very kindly sponsored for this challenge by The Ribbon Girl with a £10 voucher :-)

I think pink and cute are just made for each other!

I know lots of you will agree with me that LOTV images are some of the cutest around and they don't come much cuter than this gorgeous little ballerina.

I did have to do a teeny little bit of clever cutting with the star wand to use the size of circle die that I wanted, as there was already plenty of white space around the image so I didn't want to use a bigger circle.

Of course, I just had to add some girly details with a layered bow and some flowers :-)

Hello lovely people,

It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and we are celebrating our 2nd birthday this month plus we have reached a fabulous 400 followers, so we've chosen a really easy theme for you this month...

ANYTHING GOES!

Oooh, everybody's fave right?  Of course, it still has to be pink but that's not difficult!

I was in my element with this card, up to my eyes in pretty papers, lace and flowers!  I often go for the slightly easier option of cutting my image into a rectangle so I thought I'd have a little change and get out the circle dies.

I seem to be having a really bad run of dropping spots of Copic ink on my images at the moment...can you guess where I've hidden one this time?!  Well, those hanging stars look so good there anyway - lol!

This is another new rubber stamp for me; I love all the Tildas so much that I am having to be a bit choosy about which ones I buy but this one was a bit different to the others I have so into my shopping basket she fell :-)

Hello lovely people,

I think I'm on a roll after posting 2 cards on Tuesday and I was crafting up a storm yesterday on my day off!  But today it's all about a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme is...

ANYTHING BUT SQUARE (and no rectangles either!)

I have used my favourite (ok, my only) large shaped Go Kreate die for the base shape... must get my hands on some more of these!

I also used a new Saturated Canary image that came on a CD-ROM with a magazine and has been on my 'must colour' list for a while now.
