Pretty in PInk...

This card so nearly ended up in the bin and I'm still not 100% happy, but my pink loving daughter says she likes it and so it made it to the blog.

My downfall was matching the shade of pink in the paper to my Promarkers.  I just wasn't happy with the colours I achieved at all.  To rescue the situation I decided to stamp the little lady on to the two shades of pink card and do some paper piecing, which worked quite well and at least covered my disaster.
The fab floral backing paper is one from the free 'My Mind's Eye' paper pad in this month's Card Making and Papercraft magazine.  A gorgeous little collection - so pretty.  I didn't want to hide this paper too much so used vellum topped with pearls on the scallop nestie circle for that part of the sketch.

My card is for the challenges at...

• The Sugar Bowl - the sketch and scallops (scalloped vellum circle and scalloped flowers both on the patterned paper and the die cut tiny flower embellishments)
• My Time to Craft - Angelic (this tiny tot has to be an angel in the way 'she's taking time to smell the flowers')
• Aud Sentiments Challenge - No sentiment at all
• Alphabet Challenge - Kids
• Craftalicious - Cute

Have a great start to the week everyone.
