• Sunflower Pixie was colored using Whisper Strokes and Spectrum Noir Markers with gel pen accents, fussy cut around the edges

Sister Act Card Challenge: Challenge #92 

Gemma Gerbera from Lacy Sunshine is in the Pink!!!!

My dear friend, Vicky Fortier, threw the gauntlet down and challenged me to create a card with the color pink!!!! WELL, I'm not a "pink" person - I'm jewel tones, not pastels . . . . this was truly a challenge for me but here goes: My daughters, Jen and Jean, both love pink, my granddaughter, Lily, loves pink and then there's me and I don't even wear the color pink, oh wait, my undergarments at time are pink  . . .

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• DCWV Carnival Stack was cut for a size A2 card as my card                     
• background is from stash
• vine is cut using Martha Stewart Punch with Queen & Co. Pink Pearls
• Lacy Sunshine, Gemma Gerbera, was colored with Spectrum Noir Markers, Whisper Strokes Markers, Prisma Colored Pencils and gel pen accents, rounded corners and chalked around the edges
• center of the flowers are Queen & Co. Black Pearls in Gemma Gerbera's hair
• sentiment, "Just saying Hello", had previously been a freebie from Create with TLC which was chalked around the edges with rounded corners and mounted on a scraps from the front of my card to be used as a "Thinking of You" card 

• flowers were cut using white cardstock using Cricut Plantin Cartridge and then chalked for color with Queen & Co. Black Pearls
• black/pink checked ribbon was found in my stash and thought it would make the purrfect finishing touches

Tah Dah!!!! I actually created a pastel card using the color pink!!!! Thanks for challenging me Vicky Fortier and hope you like my card!!!

Just a funny little story about a little black kitty - I guess she has pink issues also! Chloe is infatuated with this card as she keeps trying to run with it. The bow is missing along with 2 of the flowers!!!! Everyone is a critic!!!! LOL!

Suzy B's Blooming Challenge Blog August 23rd

This week at Suzy B's Blooming Challenge Blog our wonderful sponsor is Lacy Sunshine and I was lucky to use one of her Flower Pot Pretties Poppy!!! I love poppies and I remember them growing at my grandmother's near the outhouse . . . . whenever they would bloom, it would rain but I always loved the orangish red color of them!!!!

No rain on my Poppy as she just wants to say "hello"

RECIPE:

• card is a 6 x 6 inch card using DCWV cardstock from my scrap drawer and can't seem to find the original stack it came from
• backgrounds were cut 5.75 inch using Recollections Black/White Pad and 5.5 inch using DCWV Scrapbook Kit Stack Love & Wedding
• image was colored using Spectrum Noir Markers with gel accents
• sentiment, "Just saying HELLO", was a freebie from Create with TLC  which was placed in a teeny tiny envelope made from scraps which measures 1-inch (what was I thinking???)
• red pearls were added to her ears for earrings with yellow pearls for the center of the red flowers both from Queen & Co.
• red little flowers were in a card from a dear friend, Edwina Brown which I just love and make the purrfect accent for Poppy
• red ribbon is from Darice Satin Edge Organza 1-inch ribbon and then tied into a bow
•
