I made this card last night for one of my Aunties for her birthday. I followed the sketch from Cowgirl’s Sunday Stampen Challenge. I used the colours Pink, Chocolate and White to go with the challenge at Colour Create. Mainly pinks, with white highlights and a touch of chocolate for her hair. Because this CC Designs fairy is so cute I am entering her in the Papertake Weekly Challenge – Cutie Patootie. I coloured her with Copics.
I used Magnolia Papers on the new SU Melon Mambo card with some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The leaf is a die from the current SU mini catalogue. I added some hatpins as well and a little pink bow. The Recipe for Happiness digi stamp is a freebie over at Meljen’s Designs. My husband is not a fan of the paper doilies on cards, he thinks they look cheap…I love the way they fill in a space so easily, I would be interested in your opinion.
I had a nice day today, the sun was out, even though it was pretty chilly. My chickies laid two eggs this morning, so that means another chickie has started laying. I did a little house cleaning and some crafting – but nothing too serious!
Tomorrow we are having a birthday dinner at our house. My Husband turned 31 on Tuesday and his sister turned 33 today, so a combined birthday dinner tomorrow night with slow cookers, rice and steamed vegies, and of course birthday cake!
You still have a few days to enter my challenge of six cards in one hour. Scroll down a few posts to find it.
Hope you are having a nice evening. Thanks for visiting me today : )
Beautiful take on our sketch Alicia, love the sentiment and gorgeous flower arrangement! As for the dolies, yours always look in place, mine keep going back to the storage box lol! Thank you for joining us in our Cowgirl's Sunday Stampen Challenge, hope to see you next week, take careX:)
Another super card, I love the colours here and the bp is quite lush!
When you say that it's chilly over there, what sort of temperatures are they?

Keryn has a good question, how cold do your winters get? Here it can go to -20F & days can hover at 0….brrr. So now I fuss about the high heat and humidiy. Ahhhh Summer in Iowa, USA. 🙂
Todays card is so pretty in the pink shades. Note to self *get some Melon Mambo* Yummy color.
As for the doilies. I have not bought any. There are probably some in Mom's stash. They are pretty nostalgic for me. I remember doing Valentine's and other party favors with them as a child. (Remember I am old enough to be your Mom!)LOL
Big Hugs…
Wow Alicia this is gorgeous! I love the star paper and those beautiful flowers 🙂 Your colouring is really pretty too.
