Good Morning...
Today's card is my first DT card for In The Pink. I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be joining Christine and the other lovely designers as
A Pink Lady, it really is such an honour.
This week's challenge at In The Pink is
Stitching - real or faux
The prize for the lucky winner is a £10 voucher from the fabulous
Today's card is made with a lovely Stamping Bella Stamp 'Charlotte Loves To Shop'.
Now, disclaimer coming up... I did use quite a lot of colours for this card owing to the vast amount of shopping bags Charlotte has! I did n't want her to be boring!
I also had a play with a new present, bought for purely medicinal reasons of course to cheer me up whilst my shoulder has been poorly...(-;... I bought some Copic Spica glitter pens which are really good fun so I coloured in the parcels and tissue paper, and lacy edged jeans and shoes...and...oh well...quite a lot was coloured with them in the end so I could try the colours out! (Just a shame the camera does n't quite capture the sparkle)...
I used card and papers to create layers and mats and added a sentiment I made on the computer. I decided to use machine stitching this time. I don't really have a preference - real or faux, but I just thought machine stitching would suit this card better.
Finally, I added some twine, sequins and a shimmer dome to complete the glamour.
Here we are then...Charlotte shopping...you go girl!

PS... I do understand the need for retail therapy when you're aching.....it truly is a medication all of it's own!! x
Congratulations, such a great card, the other colours are just enough with the pink. I have Sakura pens for glitter, not seen the Copic ones, love a bit of added sparkle x
