And again with the pink. I must be changing... weird. Actually today I purchased some new May Arts ribbon for the store. I kept gravitating towards the pink... seriously. Do you think this is the way my body is telling me "Hey your almost 28... have some kids." Okay maybe not. Here's my card.
Stamps: Sew Lovely (Lawn Fawn)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), VersaMark
Cardstock: Kraft, Pretty in Pink (Stampin' Up!)
Patterned Paper: Blue Diamonds Paper (My Mind's Eye)
Fibers: Pretty in Pink Grosgrain (Stampin' Up!), 3713 Floss (DMC), White Thread (Coats and Clark)
Pearls: White (Prima)
We are having some internet issues, but do you see that beautiful My Mind's Eye paper? Well I have some to give away tomorrow! Check back then! Hope you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteOooh! That color challenge was nasty wicked, wasn't it? LOL! However... I LOVE this card! Way to branch out into the pink!
ReplyDeleteadorable adorable and pink!
ReplyDeletei think pink isn't a sign you should HAVE a baby, it's a sign you should DESIGN A BABY STAMP SET!
i know signs ;)
Really lovely indeed! Love all the stamping and sewing! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! :)
Oh, this is so very pretty. I love the stitching.... Very cool card...
ReplyDeleteYes - 28, the perfect age....have some kids...lots of them!! - - you'll wonder why you didn't sooner and you'll realize how much you were missing in your life and didn't even know it. So go - make babies! :)
ReplyDeleteThese paper pieced spools are really really cool....along with that stitching. Can't wait to see the new ribbon!
Delicious background pattern you created, and a really nice card. I think you do an amazing job with pink!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Courtney, and I actually like the little bits of black showing through.
ReplyDeleteI too hated pink, until I started papercrafting. It was strange, but it's almost become a neutral for me...have you noticed that it can be paired with almost any color?
Lovely card! I love the pink--it's one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteI was 28 when I decided to have kids. I didn't plan on kids prior to that. I don't know what happened...a switch flipped or something!LOL I now have 2 and quit my job and stay home with them and that is something I thought would NEVER, EVER happen.
Really cute card! I love all the sewing ! Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my pti blog hop card, I kind of linked it to the wrong March so didn't get many comments lol so it was nice to see a few!
