What Day Off?

Well so much for my day off! I haven't achieved very much. I knew what DP I wanted to use but somehow decided that it wasn't right. Yes you guessed right I did end up using it after wasting a lot of time!



I also had to waste time going to Tesco for onions. Didn't occur to me that I needed them when I went to the local shop for my papers. I suppose that would have been too easy!



So here it is and right up until it was almost complete I still wasn't sure about it. I'm still not sure about the blue I used for matting. The plain pink was no problem but the blue was a nightmare! I had all sorts of blue out. Too blue, too green (?), to dark, too light. So I just gave in and chose this one. I'm a bit disappointed about how the ribbon looks in the photo. In real life it doesn't look as dark.

I used :-

Image :- Penny Black.

DP :- Papermania Rose Garden.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Sentiment :- Penny Black.

Swirl stamp from the Papermania 2009 Marie Curie set.

Pearls :- the Hobby House.

Nesties.

I'm going to enter a few challenges with this card :-

Penny Black :- Swirls.

Sketch Saturday :- Sketch.

Colour Create :- Baby pink and pastel blue plus something soft. I used a lovely soft piece of ribbon.

Daring Cardmakers :- Pearls.

Papertake Weekly :- Fun - I think this hedgie's idea of fun is sunbathing in a deckchair!

I hope Kath doesn't faint when she sees how early I am entering the Penny Black challenge! Well ok I was a bit late last week lol!

I'm off now to see if I can make up for my lack of cardmaking so far today. I really thought I was going to get a lot done today. I did do a wee bit more tidying though and I managed to check out my favourite challenges. Unfortunately I still need to check out my favourite challenges!

Thanks for looking and for any kind comments you might leave.
