Beth is still struggling with her tonsillitus ... and I may have made the fatal mistake of saying "yes" to her pleas ... "can I craft with you Mummy?" ...
She wanted pink ... and ink ... in fact lots of both!!! So we have created this card! We cut the aperature in the card blank and the cardstock together (I placed, she turned the handle on the CB). Beth inked up the WMS pattern up and I stamped it. I inked up the aperature in spun sugar, worn lipstick and festive berries DIS and Beth went round the outside of the card blank in festive berries ... she likes using the TH tool! I was allowed to stamp the fairy and foliage (phew) but she insisted on glamour dusting and stickling ... perhaps a bit too enthusiatically - fortunately most tapped off!! Finally some pink cardstock with the red ribbon Beth insisted went on.
We have Ellie's best friend coming for a sleepover later and a trip to Knowsley Safari park tomorrow so I have a baking session to do now and some organising of the front room so they can camp out there tonight ... oh and I need to find the paracetamol ... just in case!!!!!

Less is more - aperature ... not so much of the less (but Beth is only 5!)

Pretty card.
Paracetamol? Vast quantities of alcohol would be better.
Fabby card (even if it is ****)
Hope Beth is starting to feel a bit better xxxx
Hope the tonsillitis clears up fast.
The pink card, whilst very pink, is delightful

How nice to have a little helper! You're right about the more rather than less Cathy... but there were two of you contributing...so I expect we'll have to allow a bit more!
Well done Beth!
Thanks so much

It's a wonderful thing to be able to share your love of crafting with your daughter. Who knows what seed of creativity you may be planting in this budding artist. Good for you. Her card is adorable and best of all it really reflects her inner muse. Thanks for sharing it with us and for playing along with the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge this week.

Your daughter has an eye for design, Cathy...I said YES to pink this week, too :)! Love the adorable little silhouette tucked in the window with the sweet background pattern surrounding her...it looks like fairy dust! A lovely card in PINK!

What Knowsley Safari park still exists !! sorry was born in Liverpool but have been living in Greece for decades, you reminded me of my childhood. Hope you found paracetamol and the sleep over was a success. Love your pink sparkly card and it definitely is just what the doctor ordered.
