Delightful Challenges

Here's my card for today, for the challenge blog Delightful Challenges. This week the theme is 'Cute and Girly' with the use of pearls and lace. Two of my favourite embellies to use at the moment :o)
Okay, so I'm using purple again! I didn't put the purple scraps bag away yesterday..........lazy mare! I do feel chuffed though when I can make a card completely from the scraps bag. I can then leave the cupboard full of papers and card untouched ........... I'm like most of you and could paper the house in the amount of cardstock and papers I have here! I really must give some away that there isn't a hope of me using, I'm sure the local Brownies group could be getting a shed load when they re-start in September.

The card then, the flowers are a combo of Marianne dies and EK success flower punches with a PM pearl brad. The ribbon border is Marianne and the punched border is Martha Stewart. The swirls are a Marianne die and the lace is from a local store.

Tilda has been coloured with the usual distress inks and  a little bit of white gel pen to highlight.
Predictable to the end...........another easel card! The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.
Thanks for dropping by.
