Rosy Birthday

     I'm excited to announce that this fortnight I'm a Guest Designer at The Paper Girls.  The  newest challenge has a photo to show the color theme.  Notice that green wasn't selected as one of the colors to use despite all the green in the photo.  :-D  I used an image (Bella Rose) from Conie Fong and here's how I used the colors.



     I colored with ProMarkers and fussy cut the image with scissors.  The black oval was cut with a die from Spellbinders.  I mounted that onto a pink card base and added the image using dimensional dots so that the image is actually raised above the black oval.

    I printed the sentiment, hand cut it, and matted it with a scrap of black.  The bowtie bow was made using white lace which I 'dyed' pink with a ProMarker.  I love it when CAS designs look more complex that they are.  :-D

     Challenges:
A Bit More Time to Craft
Always Happy Birthday
A Perfect Time to Craft
Cardz TV
Classic DT Open
Creative Fingers
Digistamps4Joy
Morgan's ArtWorld
Outlawz Festive Friday

     I hope we're going to see you playing in the challenge at The Paper Girls some time in the next two weeks.  Those are such lovely colors - lots of neutrals with a gorgeous pink for balance.  How could you resist?  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
