Yes. that's the title of the first challenge at 'In the Pink' . This is a new Challenge blog co-hosted by 2 lovely, and very talented ladies - Sylvia and Christine. If by any chance you don't know these ladies, please pop over to their blogs, you won't be disappointed
For my card, I used Ella Bella from IndigoBlu, stamped in black on white cardstock,, edges were distressed with Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet DI, The swirl is IndigoBlu, the sentiment is Tim Holtz and all stamping was in VV. I added lots of Glamour Dust to the swirls, butterflies and torn edges. The base and embossed layers were pale pink cardstock, and although its not 50 shades of pink - I think it qualifies!
I am also entering this in:

Thats it for today - 4 posts this week - I'm like a bus - don't see one for ages and then they all come together!
