I just had to have another play with my new Oxford Impressions 'April in Paris' stamps, and another little 'shabby' card. This time I have tinted the little girls face and added a bit more colour to the flower in her hat.
DP is from an old Papermania pad, I do need to use my paper stash more, and the ribbon was died with Spun Sugar DI.The theme at In the Pink this time is 'Anything Goes' so perfect!
I am also entering it at:
Fussy & Fancy - Monochromatic
Natalie & Amy's - One for the Girls
The Crafting Cafe - Anything Goes
Divas by Design - Use Ribbon
Hobbycutz - Something New
Before I go, I would like to say 'hello' to my latest followers, it's lovely to see you and I hope you will continue to follow my crafting journey.
Have a great weekend.

This is so gorgeous, Avril!
ReplyDeleteLove the torn paper edges - they make "pink" much more "bearable" for me...*lol. Honestly - your make is brilliant - I am not much of a girlie you know, but your card would get its place of honour even on MY writing desk. ;)
Absolutely wonderful!

My oh my! It is so hard to comprehend that this is a stamp and not a photo. I need to do some serious research on these stamps. This is stunning and full of pinkness too. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteGreat shabby card, love those stamps I think I am going on the same mission as Mrs A to find them.

Completely delicious, Avril - absolutely perfect shabby chic look, and the little girl is wonderful, especially with your delicate tinting. I'm not generally a girly girl either, but you'll laugh when you see tomorrow's post over at mine!!
