CCCB-Week 312--Pretty in Pastels!

Hi, Friends!

I have the pleasure and honor of guest designing for City Crafter this week!  The theme this week is ...Pretty pink 'n' pastels!  Your project is to have pastel colors and it needs to include the pretty color of pink!  And, here is my card...

For my card, I started with a white card base.  And, on the next panel I water colored the background using Tim Holtz inks...spun sugar, picked raspberry, and shabby shutters.  I stamped the sentiments and butterflies.  A pretty white die cut flower was placed.  A border on the left with patterned paper for interest.   Pretty bow and pearls to finish off the card.

I hope to see your project over at the challenge!  And, please see what the designers have come up with to inspire you.  You won't be disappointed...have fun!

Thanks so much for dropping by today...take care!

Hugs,
Maria

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY, CITY CRAFTER!!!!!!

Hi, Friends!

For the celebration challenge we are to case one of the designer's cards.  I chose to case Marina's(Case #4).  Here is her card...

(Marina's card)

Love all the pretty colors with the trees and the
hearts with pearls!

And, here is my card...

For my card, I started with a lilac card base and added stitched ovals.  The birthday cake was colored with copics.  Wink of Stella was added for a bit of shine.  The sentiments and dots were placed to finish the card.  I have to admit I was inspired by Kirsty's case of Marina's card, too!  So, I guess I cased two cards!:-)  And, here is Kirsty's card...

Thank you Marina and Kirsty for the inspiration!  Well, that's all for now.   Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by!  Take care!

Hugs,
Maria
