I have made this card to enter some challenges. I love pink cards, so decided to use some Designer paper I have had for a while. This one is called 'Cutie Patootie "Coverall"', I managed to find some lace that was a similar shape to the scalloping at the bottom of the paper. I finished that off with a pink satin ribbon and bow. The frame behind the swing is an oval and scalloped oval nestabilities done with the white one that I embossed with my cuttlebug birds and swirls embossing folder. The tilda and swing were stamped and then coloured with water colour pencils. The 3 butterflies were also stamped with some 'stamp effects' emony shimmer embossing power. The flowers are ones I have made with punches that I learned from Angie at
Penny Flowers. 3 different shades of pink ultimate roses. 3 bell flowers with pearl stamens, a couple of punched little blossom flowers also with pearl centres. Finally 3 leaves punched with the Ash Family leaves punch that I bought from
Fat cats card corner. I made the tag on the computer and then cut out the shape with a template I have. Then I cut a border in the pale green around it to finish the tag.
Lastly I made a box with my Martha Steward Scoreboard, and then decorated it with the same designer paper and green contrast. Finally I did the inside with the same designer paper and contrast paper.
The challenges I have entered with this card are:
Sir Stampalot, 'Spring is in the air' - Make a card with fresh
greens, yellows and/or blossom pinks

Such a beautiful creation - love the layout and the way you have framed in Miss Tilda. I don't think a card could possibly be any sweeter then this. The embossing goes perfectly with your paper. Love it!!
