Pretty In Pink...

Hello & good evening to you all.

 I hope you've all had a pleasant day. 

 

We have been quite busy as it was Jessica's 12th Birthday yesterday. Although I didn't need to make her a card as she loves One Direction. She is having some friends over on Saturday afternoon for a Just Dance girly time, take-away tea & 1D birthday cake.  Think I might retreat to my craft room.

I have made two clean & simple cards today. This one is to enter at The Shabby Tearoom. This pretty picture is their inspiration for the Pretty In Pink challenge.  I will post my second ( Easter) card tomorrow.

            The pink rose was made with Martha Stewart molding clay kindly by my mum.

I have used a

 6 x 6 Craft uk card.

Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.

Catalina Floral Die Memory Box.

Pearl String on Lace The Market Gallery Southampton.

I so need to buy some Shabby seam Binding.
