Pastel Pretty


Hello again and welcome to this weeks
This weeks theme is 
Using Pastel Colours
Our sponsor this weeks is Crafter's Companion with a £10 voucher

My card this week is a round easel card. The shape has been cut using a Spellbinders large scalloped die. The embossed lines have been made by using the die in different sizes put on the back of the card and held in place with low tack tape. The is is put through the Grand Calibur but instead of using the cutting plates use the rubber mat, the base plate and the embossing plate, then it puts the embossed lines in instead of cutting. It has then been distressed using Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge. There is a patterned paper covering the inside of the card and a butterfly has been die cut to make the stop.


I have then used a Wee Stamps topper image layered onto pink card cut with the scalloped die. Plus some lovely pastel flowers with 2 die cut leaves using a Marianne Die. The topper and flowers are from Hobby House. So pretty. 

I would like to enter this card in the following Challenge;
The Paper Shelter - Flower Power
Whimsy Stamps - Anything Goes
Jackson's Digital Expressions - A Rose by any other name
Paper Makeup Stamp - Easel Card
Make it Monday - Anything Goes
