Something other than pink!

Hi, Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I am looking forward to getting back to normal this week. My daughter had her operation on Thursday. She had a Liver biopsy, grommet insertion and adenoids taken out. She was the bravest girl ever. The only thing she complained about was her sore shoulder because she had to lie on her side for nearly 6 hours and because she was leaning on her shoulder it was hurting her. It was meant to be 4 hours but the nurses werent sure so kept her on her side until they checked! Yes.. took them 2 hours to check it out!! Dont get me wrong the staff were extremely good, went beyond the job description to make all the kids on that ward feel at ease and comfortable. 

Here is my card that i rattled up tonight while watching Dancing On Ice! The sketch is from the Sugar Bowl Challenge. Great sketch to work with. My cutie is coloured in with Pro markers. I am usually a pastel colour girl but really liked these bold colours together. Over at the CES challenge the challenge is no Designer Papers, it was hard not to reach into the paper stack but i managed! I distressed the edges of all the white and teal paper with walnut ink.

The swirls and leaves are die cuts from my Cricut and the flowers as usual were home made and touched up with stickles. The gems and ribbon are out my stash.

I am entering the card into the following challenges;

Animal Crackers!

This is a card i made tonight for a few different challenges. The challenge at Creative Inspirations was to create a card thats anything other than a square or rectangle so i made this scalloped circle card. I cut the card base using my Cricut wild card cartridge as well as the 2 circle layers. The paper is from Bo Bunny. I really like pink and brown at the moment. The image of the rabbit is a LOTV stamp. It is meant to have a balloon in his hand but i just wanted the rabbit this time! The rabbit image fits with Pear Tree Designs challenge and also A Spoonful of Sugar challenge where animals is the theme for both. Passion for Promarkers challenge is "Sweet Treat" so the little cup cake is a perfect treat for that challenge! The flowers are punched and layered and finished with pearls. The challenge at CES is "Floral Frenzy" so the flowers and the floral paper fit with it great. This will be my first time entering at CES, its just a new challenge blog and looks great! I wanted to do something different with the ribbon on this card so i pleated it along the length of the card and put a bow at the side of the image and embellished with a couple of pins. I have also played along with the challenge over at Die Cut Dreams where they are looking for Pearls and Pins. I was going to add a sentiment to the card but i decided to leave it blank for now until i have a use for it!

Heres the links to the challenges i entered;

Gone all Green!

 Here is another card that i made for some more challenges. I am on a roll now! Its great to have some time to get some crafting done but we are going away to the caravan on Friday morning and i have got nothing ready at all! Think i better get myself organised! Packing for 5 is not a 5 minute job, thats for sure!

I cut the card base using my Cricut and followed the sketch for Mojo Monday challenge. They gave the choice of circle or square so decided to go for the circle for a change from the usual square cards. The colour choice was to match the Passion for Promarkers challenge which is green. As with the chocolate card i made a few days ago, its not a colour i would pick out to use as the main colour but again i quite like it! The paper is Bo Bunny Island Mist and the patterned  floral paper is from Rico Design.

I am also going to enter the card into Pear Tree designs for the Birthday card challenge. This LOTV stamp is one of my favourites. She is so cute!

Here is the challenges that this card is entered into,
