Pink and black

Good evening lovelies hope everyone is well?
Tonight's Make I'm entering into the following challenge'shttp://craftymesschallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/14th-challenge-birds.html
I started with a 6x6 scalloped edge white card base, matted with black card, I had some really pretty papers free from a mag, see pic, which I ran through m-bossability folder then swept over with black soot DI, the topper is the new nesties ovals which I can't leave alone at the mo! Inked the edge with pink sherbet adirondack, the birds and branch are from an old set of stamps can't remember the make, Sorry! Which I stamped the birds first then masked, then stamped branch then masked that, then stamped using the pink, a pretty flower cluster from the same set all over, removed the masks and voila, a pretty background, the buttons I cut using the same pink paper as background using marianne dies which I lightly inked with black soot, threaded some twine through them. Hope you like it? Thank you for visiting xxx

Hello there fellow Pink lover. Isn't it fabulous about the launch of In the Pink? I stopped in for a closer look at your card. I'm linked at #1 this week, I'd love it if you stopped by to say hello.

I love the technique you've used there, it looks amazing finished! Might have to 'borrow' that one. Lovely card Zoe.

Cheers,
Kasey ~ in Oz
