Pretty in pink

Hello there! Well it was a gorgeous day yesterday up here - we had a wonderful day out at Stanley Park in Blackpool. I wonder if we'll be so lucky today - the forecast is pretty awful - looks like I'm in for a wet run!!!

Today I've gor a card I made using the pink (magenta twinkle) embossing powder that I bought at the show in Doncaster. Its fabulous - and makes my card really sparkle.



I used Sheena Douglass Hibiscu stamps and stamped them in versa mark onto centura pearl pink card from crafters companion - then I added the wow powders and heat set.  I used spectrum noir pens to add colour to the flowers centres - OR1 and BP2. The leaves were stamped in a similar way and embossed with wow holly green. The central stamp is from LOTV and I stamped this in archival black and cut it out with a spellbinders circular die. The backing paper is already pink - then I altered it with dylusions bubblegum spray and distress stain worn lipstick.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you again soon!

Hugs

Rachel xx
