Hello lovely people,
It was another lovely day yesterday so Dr. Hubby and I enjoyed a walk in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside. I did miss all the gorgeous rolling green hills and woodlands while I was away; you can't beat it IMHO.
The only downside was that we both acquired a tick while out and about (note to self: stop wearing shorts no matter how hot it is!) but I managed to remove them safely with tweezers - phew!
Ok, let's move on to something a little nicer...

It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and for this challenge we have an inspiration photo;

You can use any element from this photo such as cake, bows, pearls, flowers.
Don't forget we want to see more pink than any other colour!

I took this theme very literally and made a cupcake shaped card!
In keeping with the inspiration photo I added a topping of plenty of flowers and pearls!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous cupcake Kat... such a fab way of going with the theme... the lovely flowers are a perfect embellishment with the pearls too!
ReplyDeleteHope your ticks don't cause any further problems - I saw something on TV about Lyme Disease last week... caused sometimes by those little creatures if they're infected..... so make sure you get it checked out!
Big hugs

What a pretty card, love the shape and all the pretty flowers !
ReplyDeleteUgh the thought of ticks bring me out in a cold sweat, I remember our cat came home once from one of his adventures with a huge one burrowed in his neck, was a nightmare to remove as well.
Hugs, Kaz x
hmmm not thinking about the tick incident - they give me the heebeegeebees!
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful Kat. The shape is such a clever design idea and you have put everything together perfectly. The papers are divine and your flower cluster is gorgeous. I am also very taken with that little tag die - gorgeousness.

Ooh that is so clever and so gorgeous! Bet this will be a huge hit, the papers alone are utterly delish! Love that clever card shape, did you use a template? Or have you one of those snazzy shiny machines?! Brilliant take on the theme hun. Hugs, Wends x
