DYSU # 54

Hi all, today brings us another challenge from DYSU, and we have a super fabby picture for your inspiration!



I spent every day of my Secondary School years travelling to school on one of these, although they weren't pink back then! And, we still eat Hovis too lol!

This week, we are being sponsored by The Stamps of Life.


Here is my pink themed card, a girly one for a very good friend.




The shoe images are part of a set from Hero Arts - Kick up Your Heels, and were part of my prize package for winning Fresh Face last November. It came btween Christmas and New Year, and I couldn't wait to ink up these fun images!



Istamped and coloured them twice, and decoupaged them for a little dimension, adding glossy accents to the heels.

I then cut the image out using Nestabilities Labels 10, and sponged with Pink Petunia chalk ink.


I then layered a grey damask panel by Craftwork Cards, with some pink floral paper from DCWV Nana's Nursery stack, and covered the joins with some pretty Rose Petal seam binding from The Ribbon Reel, and some lace from Ribbonbox. Finally added some gems to the label.

Do stop by the rest of the DT at DYSU for some wonderful inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
