As I am the sponsor too for this months challenge I just wanted to tell you a little about

 

'Pink Delight Craft'.

 

 I created my blog to share my love of crafting with everyone. I have always been creative my job as a hairstylist is creative. I have been crafting for around 8 years or so and absolutely love card making.

 How did I choose my blog name? Pink is my favourite colour and it is a Delight to Craft! I am delighted to be a part of the Crafting Musketeers Design Team and to also be the sponsor for this month's 'Vintage' Challenge.

 

Here is the prize for this month's 'Vintage' Challenge...

The theme this month for the

 

KANBAN CRAFTS CHALLENGE

 

is....

 

'ANYTHING GOES'

 

So, you can interpret this how you wish, just remember your creation's MUST use KANBAN PRODUCTS!

 

I have decided to go with the Vintage feel for my card...

 



 

To make my card I have used:

 

KANBAN PRODUCTS:

 

~ 6x6 Scalloped Square Card blanks

~ Pink Bouquet on Chocolate Background Card 901028

~ Butterflies & Roses on Chocolate Background Card 901023

~ Rose Cameos Paper Craft Toppers 901008

~ Tapestry Verses Sentiments 901017

~ Pink Spiders Web

~ Self-adhesive Pearls

 

OTHER CRAFT MATERIALS USED:

 

~ Distress Ink Vintage Photo

~ Zig Emboss Writer Clear

~ WOW Embossing Powder Metallic Copper Super Fine

~ Vintage Lace

~ Flowers

~ Pearl Heart Ribbon Slider

~ Ornate Button

 

I made an easel card and used the Distress Ink around the edges and along the base. I drew a border around the scalloped edges using the Zig pen, sprinkled with embossing powder. I then used my heat gun to melt the powder.

 

I added the card and toppers as shown and embellished with the lace, flowers, button and pearls.

 

I love the Vintage look, I've got to say it's one of my favourite crafty themes.

 

So, don't forget that you can make any theme you wish to, so why not choose your favourite theme and enter the challenge.
