To Be or Not to Be.......

My card today is another Rusty Pickles image and also comes with some news from Michelle, the owner of Rusty Pickles. Things have not worked out the way she had hoped so she has decided to make the Rusty Pickles images free (date to be announced). 
 I have used the beautiful Flourish Leaves in my card from Rusty Pickles Digital Delights Shop.


I have used the sketch at Crafty Sentiments which is shown below.

I have adjusted it slightly but you can still see the sketch there - I hope!!!

I have glittered the image with pink, white and blue and then shaded the edge with pink chalk. The larger nestability is from glitter card - I do like a bit of bling!!!!
The background paper is one of Summer Driggs kits called Happiness - they are gorgeous and free but please send her a donation.
I did some smaller versions of the image and flipped them to make a border at the bottom and I really like the effect - what do you think?

The flower was made from Core'dinations Whitewash cardstock sanded down and then I added a bead - I bought it from a local Haberdashery - isn't it amazing what you can find - over 100 beads for 69p!

Please check out my team mate Dawns creation at Cards For every Occasion.  

Now the challenges I am entering this card in are

Colour Create - Pale pink, pale blue, white and silver,

Totally Papercrafts - Friends

Alphabet Challenge Blog N is for new (image and nesability),

Stamp, Scrap and Doodle - Open, and

Practical Scrappers - Die cuts.

Well there you have it guys, thanks fo rstopping by and don't forget to check out the post below - it has my favourite new stamp.

Hugs
