Lil' Pinkette August

Hey, hey! Thank you for stopping by today. I've just had my regular 6 week hair cut. Isn't it just the best feeling ever when you get your hair cut, and and even better feeling getting it cut? I could just do with a prop for my head so I could have a little shut eye - it's so relaxing! I'm in a much better mood to get on with my work now! :) It's a shame I have nowhere nice to go tonight to show it off. As a matter of fact - I may have a look and see what is on at the pictures! LOL. Anywho..

If you haven't seen the new release of the Easter Stamping Bazaar images yet, check out my post HERE to get all the info. They're super cute - you don't want to miss them!

On to my card for today - which is one of three in the making for Tickled Pink Stamps and their challenges and GDT call they've got going on at the moment - so keep your eyes peeled for the other two! This card is for Challenge #15, which is a sketch challenge.. how could I not?! Here is the sketch put together by the very talented Emma..

And here is my take on it.. I have used Lil' Pinkette August - she is my FAVE of the Lil' Pinkette release. What a real sweetie!! I have used Sassafras Indie Girl paper as well as some Kraft and Naturals Ivory cardstock. I have added some stitching on the heart panel - oh yes, I managed to get some thread for my much deprived Janome!! Bless him. I had to dust him off and get him all threaded again!

I have coloured August using ProMarkers (I think I could have worked on her hair a bit more.. oops) and added some Lime Green bakers twine from The Ribbon Girl as the wire from her headphones. I'm in love with the braid in her hair - how cute!

I added a homemade hat pin, a Wild Orchid Crafts mini rose, a Papermania gem brad and a Prima pearl as added embellishments. I'm on a bit of a green kick lately! LOL. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set stamped in Chestnut Roan chalk ink - which I ordered off DoCrafts last week - I have been looking for stockists of these for forEVA! I'm so glad I found some, the coverage is just perfect!

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:

× Tickled Pink Stamps - #15 Sketch Challenge
× Nettie G's - Use your favourite digi
× Bling It On - A digi stamp and some bling
× Cute and Girly - April Challenge

Thats all I got for you today, so while I'm actually in the mood to get some work done I'm going to scoot! Enjoy the rest of your night whatever you're doing! xo
