Pretty in pink and purple


SECOND POST FOR TODAY. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY LITTLE TURTLE CARD.
There is a fab sketch at Allsorts where they also have a DT call. I love this little beauty, , and went for my fave colours with this one as it meant I could use my new papers. These new Papermania capsule papers are so scrummy that it is hard to cut into them. Isn't that silly, after all I bought them to use, not just to admire. I decided to try making a flower using my Peony Nestie as I knew it would match the flower in her hat. I used some plain purple paper and the offcut from the backing paper.

Image - Madelynne from the Greeting Farm
Medium - Letraset Promarkers, Black fineliner and white gel pens
Papers - Papermania Capsule Heather and Red Hot pink collections
Tools - Nestabilities labels and peony, MS flower border punch
Flowers - Handmade
Embellishments - bows, gems and brad from stash
