Pink Elephant Challenge 8


Yeah it's Monday and it's Pink Elephant day!! This week our challenge is to be creative with Easter in mind - so we're hoping to see lots of bunnies and chicks and all manner of Easter Creations.
My card and gift bag are for my PINK mad daughter - if it isn't pink it doesn't count. She is even wanting a PINK lap top!!!
The large flower mounts were cut using my Cricut (Plantain School book cartridge) and then embossed using the Swiss Dots folder. The rabbit in a choccy box image is a Penny Black stamp.
The bag was also cut using my Cricut machine and the same cartridge. It was cut on A4 size card at 6" which was the largest size the machine would do on that size of paper.
My Cricut is still fairly new to me and it took 3 pieces of card before I realised that any card with a coating needs to be set at a higher pressure. I do love the way it cuts out though - it's like magic!! I absolutely love it!! Hoping to install the Design Studio to use in conjunction with it next week - that should be fun!!!

Just beautiful Ann. My grand-daughter is pink mad. If it's pink it's hers regardless of what it might be - but she's only 3 and her mum is hoping she'll grow out of it. lol.
