Pretty in pink

This is my second post as GDT at Lasting Memories. Challenge ~518 is for Breast Cancer Awareness so we are looking for layouts that are monochromatic pink. I used a photo taken at my wedding of my husband's two great-nieces.

 

 

I found this very pretty paper in the DCWV stack Garden Party. The rose is raised and shiny IRL. The butterflies are also from the same stack.

The weather here for the last two days has been very wet, perfect crafting weather. Typically though I haven’t been able to make the most of it. On Friday I managed to pull a muscle in my back when I took something off a kitchen shelf. I didn’t think much of it at the time but by yesterday was in agony and spent most of the day lying down. Of course it didn’t start to hurt till the chiropractor had closed for the weekend! Today it’s only really comfortable sitting leaning back in a chair or lying down. Not very easy to craft like that!

Muse Challenge #40 and Field Flowers

It's a wet and windy night here in the UK and forecast to get worse! So what can be better than a nice summery flower!  Although I look at the Muse challenge each week I have never entered till now. This week I felt I just had to. The Muse designer is thevery talented Darnell and you can see her card here and read her post here.  A very thought provoking post reflecting on Breast Cancer Awareness month!

 Here is my take of her card.

I decided to go with the pink and green colours and the flower theme, which gave me the perfect opportunity to ink up the Field Flowers stamp ( a NBUS Darnell!) I used Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush (a gorgeous pink as good as it's name) and Always Artichoke inks. Strawberry Slush and Always Artichoke cardstock. The ribbons are the narrow taffeta ribbon in Old Olive (nearest ribbon I had to Always Artichoke) and Regal Rose (now retired).
