Tiffany.....

I have tried something a little different on my card today.  I had an idea of what I wanted to achieve, but it didn't quite work out as planned.....does it ever ?!!

I wanted to stamp my image onto some mesh fabric and colour it, but the fabric soaked the colours up and it bled quite a bit, so after a couple of attempts I decided to just highlight one part of my image with a little colour instead.

I followed this weeks sketch on The Sugar Bowl and will also enter it into:

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 !!!
