Totally Gorjuss 52 Pink.

Good morning everyone and as usual I'm trusting Mr Blogger to post this for me.  Usually I'm at work but this week I'm off babysitting at my daughter's. We went down on Wednesday night after work and I've been kept on my toes ever since. Catriona is on holiday now so we'll probably be home tonight or tomorrow and I've got a day off on Monday so hopefully I can catch up with all my DT work.

Anyway I'm lucky to have managed to make a card this week. I thought I had brought all the stuff I needed to make this card to my daughter's. No! When I looked at the sketch I was using I discovered that I needed three flowers at each side of the image. I had no flowers needless to say. If I'd noticed sooner I could have nipped out and bought some wool as I did have a crochet hook with me. Never mind I managed to improvise some flowers with my lovely pink velvet ricrac. Not sure if they look ok or even like flowers at all but I had to be inventive since this is a DT card and I had to get it made and posted in time.

I used :-
Image :- LOTV.
DP :- Tim Holtz.
Colouring :- Promarkers and Sakura clear glitter gel pen.
Nesties, pink velvet ricrac.
Pearls :- Hobby House.

I followed the sketch from Sketch and Stash so I'm hoping to enter the challenge there. Since I made these flowers I think I can also enter the challenge at ABC which is flowers.

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week and hope to see you again this week. We are sponsored by the lovely girls over at LOTV this week so it's definitely worth joining us this week. I can always find something new to buy every time I check out their webshop.

Enjoy your weekend and I'll catch up with you all later. Thanks for looking at my card and if you have time to let me know what you think I can pop over and visit you too.

By the way we have a DT call out just now so why don't you give it a go. We're a friendly DT and we love working with new people.
