Today's card is for a very special Lady's birthday - Nanna!
I've used a lovely cerise pink floral decoupage from my stash and matched this with some extremely bright and very old pink polka dot paper - over the years I seem to have collected a lot of polka dot papers!! The greeting was done in Word and I've matted the paper and image onto silvery mirri paper. Finally I couldn't resist adding some bling! A simple but effective lay-out.

I'm trying to use up my 'really old' stash and today's card is therefore made from free images and papers that came with Making Cards Magazine some years ago!
I've matted the image and papers on red card, and added some fancy die cut corners, a kraft die cut button and some polka dot ribbon. The greeting has been done in Follow You Into The World font.
What a cutie!

Needing a quick Easter card to go with an Easter Egg I have to deliver, I came across some polka dot card bases in my stash (Dovecraft - I vaguely remember buying them in Sainsbury's of all places!).
I found a seriously cute digi of a kawaii style bunny by an artist called Titareco on Deviant Art. I've printed it a couple of times to create a decoupage effect and then mounted the image on black paper. The greeting was done in Zipty Do font.
Finally, I've added a pink pearl for his nose.

Less is More - polka dots
QKR Stampede Challenge - Easter
Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge #123 - use a pearl
Brown Sugar Challenge #191 - Easter
As You Like It Challenge - bingo board
I chose the line 'pink' 'clean and simple' and 'pearls'. Pink is probably my fave colour to use on cards - it comes in so many shades. I also love the look of clean and simple cards - I struggle with flowery fancy styles. Finally, in my opinion, a card isn't finished unless there's some sort of flat-backed pearl or gem somewhere - it's my favourite embellishment.
Thanks for popping in - enjoy your Easter weekend!

Happy Good Friday everyone! Not long now before we can tuck into our Easter Eggs! Another fortnight has passed which means it's time for the next challenge at:
As
usual the challenge is 'Anything Goes' which makes it so much easier to
join in! This week the challenge is being sponsored by Di's Digis.
There's no sponsor digi this week so I've dug out an old fave - a very old digi from Pink Petticoat and this is what I have made:
I've
coloured the image using pro-markers and used co-ordinating patterned
papers from Papermania's Easter pack. The sentiment
was printed on the computer and I've added a butterfly (Anita's) embellishment
with some paper flowers. The ribbon behind the image came from a posh box of chocs!
