CAS-ual Fridays

 Hi all, today I took a little time to make a card for a few challenges. I am finding it tricky fitting in playing along with my favourite challenges right now, but I felt inspired by this week's new challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays, to use pink in a CAS design.



I recently bought myself the lovely Growing Green set from Stampin' Up!, and I bought it particularly for this beautiful fern image.

 

I have wanted this image for months, and I'm so glad it's now in my collection, what a beautiful stamp. I stamped it in London Fog ink and coloured the image with Promarkers in Pale Pink, Budding Rose, Dusky Rose, Morning Mist and March Hare.


I layered the stamped panel onto some Bazzill kraft card, and stitched together with some Fawn coloured thread.


I added the sentiment also from Stampin' Up! and added some pale pink pearls underneath.


Inside I layered some kraft and white card with the same sentiment and a partial stamping of the fern image. The card base is Blushing Bride card also from Stampin' Up!.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

CAS-ual Fridays - Think Pink

Crafty Catz Challenge - Pastels

Papercraft Journey - Use kraft card

Hope ypou are all enjoying the weekend, it's another cold blustery day here, and i expect it will rain again later. Perfect crafting weather!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
