A Pretty Pink Happy Birthday.

Hello and Welcome to today's post.

Christmas cards are done and dusted and are all on their way so - 

time for playing with my favourite retired 

SU Botanical Blooms Set

Made for Color Hues for their current challenge

Color Hues #77 with the beautiful soft

pink/silver combo

and the

The Paper Funday Challenge

are celebrating their

60th Challenge with a

5th Birthday Bash.

Don't you love milestone challenges!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Paper Funday.

I am also sending this over to their regular one

Challenge #60 Anything Goes

but without their optional twist of Snowman/or Birds

I'm afraid a snowman would melt in seconds here at the moment

with near #40c phew!

I die cut the front with white card stock

using a peek a boo die from MFT

then lightly inked Tim's stone stencil

with Hickory Smoke.

Die cut a SB square larger than the front

with pink card stock for the base.

Die cut leaves are heat embossed in

SU Silver and flowers coloured with

Lindy's Alpine Ice Rose and Oom Pah Pah Pink.

Added scattered gems to the leaves and

one to the main flower.

Sentiment inside is STAMPlorations Carved Flowers

which fitted perfectly behind the cut opening.

Certainly a hard card to photograph.

Thanks Nancy for choosing such a gorgeous color hue

for us this month.

Thanks also for taking time out to comment.

Simply 'Merry Christmas'

It's the last challenge of the year at 

The Sisterhood of Crafters

and my last card as I am stepping down

as a Designer. I have so enjoyed being part of the

fabulous friendly Sistah's and I know they will

continue to impress you with their craft skills

and encourage you to add yours to their Gallery in the New Year.

Our challenge is simply CHRISTMAS!

so go all out , have fun and

add yours to our Gallery. I know it will be full of

amazing Christmas creations.

I found the pretty paper I used on my die cut trees

in my stash - had it for years!

Embossed background is an old CB Christmas one.

Added some gold cord, bow and pearls.

Sentiment is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Card stock/base are metallic gold.

Thanks so much Darlene and  Sistah's

for the wonderful time I had as part of the Team.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Silver Decorations for Christmas

It's sooooooooooo close to Christmas

and I am sure you haven't finished your cards yet have you?

 Christmas Craft Creations have their last challenge for the year

so a great chance to quickly finish them up by entering our

Christmas Decorations Theme

I went with an old CB embossing folder for my background

then added a MFT oval die that I had

adhered my silver Christmas Decorations to.

Die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment.

Framed in silver onto white card base.

A really CAS card that would be so easy

to do multiples of.

Hop over and check out what has been added to

Our Blog by the Talented Design Team.

Hope to see yours there.

Thanks for visiting throughout the year

with your kind comments.

May you have a

Merry Christmas 

with Family and Friends and I will be back

in the New Year to do it all over again.
