Pink, Pink and more Pink....

Hello lovelies!

Pink, pink and more pink!

Yes, I absolutely love pink and as most of you know it is my favourite colour. That's why I also chose to have 'Pink' in the title of my blog.

So, the other day I was browsing around social media when I came across the new challenge over at the 

RIBBON GIRLS BLOG 

The theme this week is Colour Challenge - Pink.

Of course I just had to enter this.

I made a card using a Crafter's Companion Scruffy Little Cat stamp.

The name of the stamp is

'Nicola'....hehehe just like me!

I have coloured 'Nicola' using Letraset Promarker's in shades...

~ Skin: Almond, Putty, Oatmeal, Sunkissed Pink

~ Hair: Tan, Sandstone,Caramel, Cinnamon, Cocoa

~ Clothes, rollers, box: Antique Pink, Rose Pink, Cocktail Pink, Baby Pink, Salmon Pink, Pastel Pink, Dusky Pink, Cool Grey 1, Cool Grey 2

~ Diamonds: Cool Grey 1, Cool Grey2.

~ Outline: Cool Grey 3

The sparkly bits on the shoes, pearls, lashes, crown and diamonds are Sakura Gelly Roll Pens in

shades: Rose Star, Pink Star, Silver Star, Clear Star.

I used a heart stencil with Distress Ink Picked Raspberry to create the background.

So I hope you like my 'Pink' entry for the

RIBBON GIRL CHALLENGE

Have fun and happy crafting,

lot's of love

A pleasant surprise...

Hello lovelies!

I  visited the Ross Papercraft show on Sunday 20th January in Hull. As it was so near my home town how could I resist! LOL

I had a very lovely day and bought lots of gorgeous new crafting goodies, including some new flower and border dies.

I had the absolute pleasure of talking to Kathy Mills and her lovely daughter Cara from Ruby Red Crafts . We had a lovely chat and I was pleasantly surprised when Kathy asked me if I would make some projects for her for samples.

I was absolutely over the moon, and so very excited too. So, here I am to show you what I have created. I have had a lovely morning decorating some "6x"6 Compartment Boxes which are designed by Kathy and available to buy from Ruby Red Crafts.

Here are two so far that I have decorated...

I have a few more boxes to decorate which I will be sharing with you all very soon!

Thank you for stopping by today,

happy crafting.

Lots of love 

Nicola
