Pastel Fingers Crossed

I have combined this week's Papertake weekly Challenge, pastelcolours, with A Spoonfull of Sugar challenge, diecuts and punches. Patel colours threw me a bit as I'm not a big fan of pastel, so this is the nearest I could get to it!! But the ASoS challenge did let me loose on my punches!

I coloured my image and distressed her, I didn't matt her onto any other paper. I ran my new Impressionabilities plate (Butterflies) through my Cuttlebug with a shim to emboss the pink cardstock. I punched a couple of ribon slots to thread the ribbon through, and punched and distressed pink and white flowers and swirls. Organza knots, tattered rose glimmer mist and pink gems finish it off.

We've had a great afternoon visiting Samantha at the shop - I spent lots, learned how to make a new flower and Ellie and Beth stocked up on crafty bits! We're going back home tomorrow - I'm back to work in the afternoon :(, but its been a great easter, fab weather and we've done lots.
