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 !!!

Vintage Darling.....

Short and sweet tonight.

I've had a busy few days after spending the weekend watching my eldest son in a trampolining competition.

My 'To Do' list is getting longer and I really do need to crack on and get some of the jobs ticked off, but before I go, I thought I'd share a card I've made with you first.

I'm loving the colours in this card, they're very neutral and have a vintage feel to them.

This card fits nicely with these challenges:
