CR84FN 9, Lucy's cards Day 4

Hi all, I have a card today for 2 challenges - the newly launched CR84FN by Mona Pendleton, and Lucy's Cards sketch challenge. Lucy's sketch challenge is a new one every day this week, and I'm 2 days behind lol, but don't worry, you have a month to participate, I just thought it might be fun to try and join in every day! Well, as I said I'm a couple of days behind!

Here is the colour inspiration from CR84FN:


Aren't these colours just dreamy?

And here is the sketch from Lucy's Cards:



And here is my take:

I have used a cream linen card base, and mounted a pale pink panel which has been stamped in Memento Angel Pink using a Martha Stewart background stamp.



Then using some yellow bazzill paper, made a panel and edged both sides with a Martha Stewart heart edge punch. Lightly distressed around the hearts with Antique Linen distress ink, and again with Walnut Stain just on the tips.



Then threaded some pink ribbon through the heart cut outs and added some pink dew drops by Kars.


Then taking some large peach buttons, threaded some pink bakers twine through, and stuck the to the ribbon crossovers.

The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps in Victorian Velvet distress ink, and the little border is stamped in Dewdrop Pink Petunia. Finally distressed around the pink panel with Victorian Velvet, I really love how it brought out the background stamp.



Once again, there is a yellow tint to the pics, but I'm working on it lol!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

This card has me believing that I interrupted a woman's toilette as she was preparing for a night out with her sweetheart. It is lovely and fun and just a little bit naughty.
