Sock Hop Sweetie Friday

Hi everyone
and welcome to my blog

Well its that Friday and my first week of my new job is nearly over, I can safely say I did enjoy it but a little tired.


Here is my card project of this weeks challenge over at 



The Theme this week was - Pastel Colours




The card shape is made out of one sheet of A4 white card and made into a kind of stepper card.
This image I used for this was Sock Hop Sweetie My Besties available from our Sponsors below.  I coloured it in with my promarkers and cut it out with a Spellbinders Grand Decorative Oval and went round the edge of the die with a ink spot that I had in my stash, it was a nice light lilac colour.  I them made a faux oval by drawing round the inside of the next size and cut it out with my scissors.  I apologies I do not know the name of the paper design as I have it made years in my stash, I backed it with pink glitter card.  The border strips were cut from lilac card from my stash and the pink ribbon strips are from Red Hot Bed.  A company that appeared on Create and Craft years ago, demonstrator was Michelle Marsden at that time.  Clear gems were put into the middle of the little flowers.  The flowers I used on the front of the card were a mixture from Prima, Wild Orchard Crafts and artificial flowers I bought and took apart.  I used dew drops and flat backed pearls for the centres of the flowers.
