Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge week 76

This week's Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge has been set by the lovely Jane and it is Pink, green and Flowers.
I made this card while I was at Wendy's shop the other week. I coloured the image using the latest distress inks and then rounded the corners. I matted the image onto pink and green cardstock. I love the latest BG papers and didn't want to loose the pattern, so matted the dp onto cardtock, and just added 2 strips of pink satin ribbon with this gorgeous green lace over the top. I punched some flwoers and leaves and added some gems. The remnant of lace was tied in the middle and put behind one of the flowers.

Do take time to have a look at the gorgeous creations made by the DT.

I am not around this weekend as I am at the NEC with my fab DT buddies Vicky (Victoria) and Jane ... dread to think what I will spend!!!! Hopefully we'll get to see some other blogging friends while we are there.

I'll be back on Monday with another Sketch and Stash challenge and all my NEC news!!

Hi Cathy, it's lovely to see your finished card...and it was an experience seeing your technique with distress ink's...I have been giving them a go but not much luck so far....every attempt has failed miserably...

Hope you enjoyed the NEC...to be honest I was a bit disappointed, I was after some of the new TH sizzix stuff, sadly they are not out here properly till next month...I did spend a fortune there though...lot's of Tilda's, some lavinia stamp's a MS score board and some clarity paper and ink, crackle paint and glimmer mist...
I just don't know what to try first...

Hope you got all you wanted there... I bet you had a cracking day with the girl's...

Was it manic, the last time I went on a weekend it was murder....

Love your card Cathy...perfect colouring...and as a newby to distress ink's I know how hard this is!!!
You Rock...
