Give it up for Pink!


This is my second post of the day - please scroll down to see my first post
Hi,
I'm back again with another post that is later than it should have been ... sorry! It's time for a new challenge at Lexi's Creations and this time our challenge theme is Pink, as it's Breast Cancer Awareness month. 










Our wonderful sponsor this time is Priyanka from My Heart Pieces. The prize that is up for grabs this week is 3 of Priyanka's lovely digital images. Pop over to her blog to check out her cute digis.


The lovely Lexi has let the DT loose in her on-line store again (thanks Lexi!) and this is the card I have made to show to you today:





I've gone back to a lovely CAS style, and I've used the current sketch at Annabelle Stamps Blog for my inspiration.


My card recipe is as follows:
  • Base Card - made from Centura Pearl in Pastel Pink which is cut, scored and folded to around 10.5cm square.
  • Image - This beautiful floaty butterfly is called "Fairy Dust Butterfly" and it is just one of the gorgeous images to have come from the pen of  Lexi at Fairy Dust Crafts. I set this image into an off-centre oval and then brought this butterfly to life using my Spectrum Noir Pens in the following colours:
    • Butterfly - PP1, PP3, PP4, PP5, IG2
    • Outline - IG1
    • Butterfly's Abdomen, Wing Ends and "Dust Trail" - Pink Glitter and Silver Gel Pen
    • Background - Chalk in Pale Pink
  • Sentiment - I used my Silver Gel Pen to write the words 'Faith ... Hope ... Courage' around the top of the oval
  • Gems - from my stash


Head on over to Lexi's Creations and see how Pink my talented team-mates and our awesome Guest Designer Mark have gone - don't forget to come back and share your creations with us for this worthy cause! You've got until Saturday 13th October 2012 to link your cards up.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:



 That's it from me for today ... think I'm off to try and catch my tail! Thank goodness tomorrow is a new day, and I might get organised :o)

Hugs, Helen x
