Pastel Love

Good morning

So much for a day off today, I'm now in on a late tonight.  That's the price you pay for being a Section Leader, I hope my son doesn't decide to go into retail.


Anyway, I am trying to keep up with my card making as well and so far I have managed it.  Things might change by the end of the week.  This card has a love theme, but I have left it very generic so it could be used for a wedding, anniversary or just a general love card.


I have chosen pastel colours and the digital stamp is called On Your Arm from Sami Stamps.  I have coloured it using ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Yellow card stock
Double sided adhesive sheets
Glamour Dust glitter
Crafters Companion Rose Vine embossing folder
Lattice embossing folder
Yellow organza ribbon
Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles die set
Lazer cut hearts from All Day Crafting
White marker pen
3D Clear Gloss
Pink paper tea roses
Pinflair glue


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Matt Or Shiny (I prefer to use matt card stock and papers and then add shiny embellishments, but occasionally I use glitter on my background paper as I have on this card)
