No pink in sight!

Good morning blogland

It's a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge and this fortnight the theme is 'International Women's Day' - Girly but NO PINK! An interesting one! I had no idea there was an International Woman's Day so I just ran with the Girly but 'No Pink' part of the challenge.  As end of March is also Mother's Day these cards could be for the mother or mother figure in your life. As always though we are a stamping challenge so there should be stamping (digital or rubber) on your project somewhere please.

This is the card I made:

Supplies used:

Digital Image:

C.C. Designs - Cupcake Nancy

coloured with Copics

Rubber Stamp:

Taylored Expressions - Oh My Word - Birthdays

Paper:

Cosmo Cricket - Togetherness

Dies:

My Favorite Things - InsideOut Stitched Circles

Joanna Sheen - bunting

Poppy Stamps - Scalloped Stitch Frames

What I did:

Re-sized and printed the digi stamp onto Copic friendly paper, coloured in then fussy cut out.

Used the various dies to create a frame, a circle and bunting.

Cut a piece of the patterned paper to the same size as the frame die then glued it to the back.

Added the frame and paper to the 7"x5" top fold card blank.

Cut a different piece of the patterned paper in a rectangular shape and attached it near the bottom of the card blank.

Stamped on the circle and glued that on top of the papers.

Glued the bunting to the top of the card blank.

Popped on the fussy cut image with some 3d foam.

et voila, job done!

I do hope you can find time to join in with the challenge and I look forward to seeing lots of non-pink girly cards!

In Any Other Business, the craft room is coming along apace - lots of sorting and moving done, now just waiting for desk to arrive to finally arrange.  I'll post pictures soon!

Signing off now,

See you soon,

As You Like It Challenge: Favourite Occasion (and why) Hmmmm birthdays? I seem to make a lot of cards for birthdays.  I do like birthday images as, for me, they are generally people and I can try and match some characteristic in the image I'm colouring of the person the card is going to (hair / eye colour; clothing; style; hobby) and I do like to colour people the best!
