In the Pink.....

I'm a little out of my comfort zone with all the Pink in today's card, but I'm rather pleased with how it's turned out.

I was nearly in tears cutting into the fabulous Tim Holtz Idea-ology 'Vintage Shabby' papers.  I've had this paper pad for over a year now and this is the first sheet I've used out of it !!!

The pink die cut heart is from a piece of velour/moleskin paper (if you can call it paper) that I bought from my local craft shop last week.  I really didn't think I would be cutting into it so soon, but it just went so well with the rest of the card.....looks like I will be going back to purchase another piece to keep stroking !!!

Woodland Fairy.....

I have a beautiful Fairy from Sugar Nellies Home Grown Manga range to share with you today.  I love this image and decided to use my Distress Inks for a change.

Cutting into these papers gave me palpitations, I have been stroking and nurturing this gorgeous First Editions 'Up, Up and Away' pad for a few months, but I finally found the courage to use it !!  Thankfully there are 3 sheets of each design in this pad....1 for cutting, 1 for stroking and 1 for emergencies !!
