With a friend like ...

Vicky, who needs enemies!!!!! My lovely friend dared me to make a card using a Sweet pea iamge and it had to be pink. Now those of you who are regular followers will know I have a bit of a problem with pink .. .I do keep trying to usee it but it not my favourite colour!
But I have been dared ... so I have made a pink card. Fortunately Vicky didn't say bright pink! I coloured the iamge and made the papers last night,and put it together this morning while DH did the school run.
I made my own design paper using weathered wood and Victorian velvet distress inks. I stamped a swirl around the edge, applying differing pressure to get a mottled effect. I also stamped the swirl onto a spare bit of dp and cut the swirl out. The image is coloured using distress inks and the papers are distressed with my Tim Holtz tool. I made my flower using my CB circles and distressed them. Finally I added some organza and satin ribbon ties in a knot.
The card fits these challegnes:
Stampavie and More - distressing
Cute Card Thursday - Make your own ... I made the paper and flower
Friday Sketcher - sketch
