Valentines.... at In The Pink


Hi All

In this nasty, cold, windy weather, I'm here to brighten your day with some fabulous pink!!  Yep, it's time again for another challenge at In The Pink  -  I can't believe how fast this fortnight comes around!

This time, our challenge is Valentines - all mushy and romantic as it's that time of year... and these cards are what I came up with... hope you like!

Card Recipe:
  • Image - LOTV Close Your Eyes
  • Colouring - Copics and Promarkers
  • Spellbinders Opulant Ovals Die
  • Spellbinders Basic Lattice Die
  • Memory Box Precious Hearts Die
  • MFT Die-namics Rustic Hearts Die
  • Tulle Ribbon Bow - from The Ribbon Girl
  • Paper - Echo Park Be Mine
  • gems, glitter from stash
  • Sentiment - Hero Arts little alphabet set 
And now a change of style... more modern I think, but still one I loved making..


I fell in love with this little lady at Sammy Taylors in Embsay last week... and thought she was perfect for this theme.. and I enjoyed doing a bit of paper piecing on her dress..

Card Recipe:
  • Image and Sentiment - MFT Sweet Friend
  • Paper - Dotty Pink by Card Creations
  • Paper Pieced dress - Marianne Design Paper - Eline's Flowers
  • Glossy Accents - Heart on headband
  • L'il Inkers Of The Heart die and also Stitched Sentiment die
  • Martha Stewart border punch
  • Hearts Embossing folder by Crafts Too
  • Gems and Glitter from Stash
Hope you can pop over to the In The Pink challenge blog to see what Sylvia has come up with, and also our lovely Guest Designer - Amelia.... I promise you, they're sooooooo gorgeous!

Hope all my bloggy friends are well....  and that you're all keeping warm and dry.... and looking foward to spring!  My snowdrops are flowering well...  and I even have a daffodil with a bud... though it's a bit wary of opening as yet... and I don't blame it!  I'm sure the plants are very confused with the odd weather we've been having...  the daffodil is thinking 'time to go....... ooops no, not yet, too much white fluffy stuff..... oh well it's warm now... I'll pop up a bit further.... ooops no... bit chilly again...'  Yes.... I know, I'm off my trolley when I think that daffodils actually have a brain....  LOL!

With that I'll go..  (funny farm van just pulled in..)
Big hugs and Happy Crafting
Christine x

    Of course daffodils have brains - mine are thinking exactly the same as yours! Is there room for two on your trolley, lol!

    Two wonderful cards, both with a really sweet and cute image, love all the dies in the first card and the elegant simplicity of the second.
    Let me know where they take you and I will bring grapes, in a bottle of course.!

    Two gorgeous cards Christine. Now if I have to pick a favourite then it would be the second one but only because I saw that stamp too and it's on my wishlist (just waiting for Phil to book his trip away ha!)
