For Cute Card Thursday this week the theme is Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Having had a browse through the design team's inspirational cards, and deciding to go well out of my comfort zone and into pink (practise will make perfect, or at least make me like working with pink more!) I came up with this one as my entry:
I decided not to go for Tilda as that might not be so original. So I have used two Penny Black stamps, Pink Toes (the cat) and Ecarte, Splits, Pirouette (the Hedgie). I only used 1 element of the latter stamp as all three wouldn't fit!
I have used Papermania's Pastel papers (dots and stars) and their retro floral papers. The cat and hedie are mounted onto pastel pink card, and then matted onto the other elements.
I embossed the dot paper using Provocraft's Allegro embossing folder (it doesn't show up very well in the picture).
Having like the effect of the decoupaged Tilda I decided to have a go at decoupaging the dress and tutu of the cat .
The ribbon is from a pack of cards! (recycling is good), and the sticky ribbon that hides the paper joins is a Papermania one.
Eveything is mounted onto a pastel pink card.
What do you think?
