Well, I made some cards today for the PDCC and WMSC, took loads of pics and they wouldn't load. So, I had to wait for Himself to arrive home with his computer expertise and general techie knowhow to inform me that as I use the card reader so much, I've worn it out! ME! It's my fault! LOL!
Thankfully he was able to download my pics to his laptop and from there to the MAC, don't ask me how, I'm just not worthy.
So this week the Play Date cafe wants us to use Pink, Blue and silver, and Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge would like a little batch of notelets/mini cards.
Here's the inspiration:
And here's my take:
I have used white linen card bases for all three cards. The patterened papers are a mix of pink and blue gingham by Craft Creations, and papers by Pink Petticoat that were a magazine freebie last month.
On this card below I have silver embossed the heart from Waltzingmouse stamps Seasons of Love onto some Pink Petticoat paper, and cut with my Heart Nestabilities, then cut a scallopped heart from some blue Craft Creations paper and layered together.
I then paper pieced the background using more Pink Petticoat papers and some pink and silver sticky ribbon by Anita's. Added a pink flocked brad and some silver polka dot ribbon.
The sentiment is stamped in silver ink and is from WMS Victorian Frippery.
On this next card I have clear embossed the heart onto some Pink Petticoat paper, and mounted onto a gingham scalloped heart. Then layere this onto some pink gingham, blue ribbon, added some clear gems to the corners, and a sparkly blue button to the centre.
On my final card I have clear embossed the WMS heart onto some blue craft creations paper, then layered onto a gingham scalloped heart, mounted onto some Pink petticoat paper, with a blue gingham strip added to the middle.
I cut two butterflies out in silver mirri card, and layered them together with a blue acrylic(?) flower and bead, and added a pink pearly heart. Shiny shiny shiny :-)
These little cards didn't take too long, and I am very pleased with how they turned out. I can't say which one I prefer, the colours look so lovely together.
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline xx

Wow! Pauline these are so pretty! I love the soft colours you've used on them and the little details you've added. Perhaps you should start asking Himself if he would turn on the computer for you...! Hope you're feeling better after your migraine. Vx
What a great card set! And love your colors!!!
Such pretty, feminine and delicate cards. These are gorgeous.
I'm pleased that your migraine has gone - I had planned on playing today, but I've had a stress headache, not as bad as a migraine, but I've felt rough!
Lordy Bees these are so soft and beautiful! L O V E
