Pretty in pink

Good evening bloggers 

Wow hasn't it been cold today?  I took my dog for a walk this afternoon and by the time I got back home my toes had gone numb.   Been in my pyjamas since then , in front of the fire crafting lol and watching create and craft.   
I was looking through my drawers earlier and I noticed I had loads of old cards in there, I'm no boarder mind you but I just don't like binning cards.

I saw this beautiful card which had a topper of a ladies stunning dress so decides to use it as a main image on my card.






I matted and layered two different patterned papers onto some gold mirror card.  I then cut then into 4 separate spares which just fit the card beautifully.  I used some gold corner peel offs and pink border peel offs and put it around the card to make another border.


I used a tag I already had, punched a hole in it and threaded some ribbon through it and attached to the card.  I also used some pink shoes die cut which I got from hunkydory , just perfect with the dress topper.

  

The flowers I already had which I had bought from eBay so attached them to the card too.



It's amazing where out inspiration comes from, just doing some spring cleaning and there you go a lightbulb moment lol 

I hope you enjoy my card

This is so beautiful! We're so blessed that you joined us with your wonderful art last Challenge. We would like to invite you to link with us again in our current Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving some inspiration from the Word of God in John 4:14 n which Jesus said, "But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life." Have a wonderful and blessed week.
