Charisma Cardz - Pink & Black

1st Post of the Day


Morning :)  Busy week for me this week, as I have 2 cards to share today.

My first card is for our new challenge over at Charisma Cardz where this week our theme is 'Pink & Black'. Very glam and girly eh? :)  We are sponsored by the brilliant Simon Says Stamp and the fabulous Pink Cat Studio, so excellent prizes up for grabs this week and well worth playing along!

I used a supercute Tiddlyinks image on my card, and Fizzy Moon papers.  I also tried faux stitching for the first time (as I couldnt find my black thread!) and I felt such a cheat, but I was quite pleased with the result, so will definately do it again.  The dotty ribbon is from Joanna Sheen and the dies are a mix of Doo-Hickey, spellbinders and Marianne. 

I will be entering this card in the below competitions:

Bunny Zoe's Challenge - Ribbon or Twine
Totally Papercrafts - Saturated Colours
Fussy and Fancy Challenge - Punches & Dies
Paper Playtime - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Birthday
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Emergency Crafters - Bold and Bright

Thanks so much for checking out my blog this morning, and if you find time, please pop back later to see my 2nd card,
