Craftmad October Card Swap - Pink


Hi everyone, ready to start a new week?  Bit warmer here today I think those aircons will be on by the end of this week. 

The card I am sharing today is one that I sent off to my partner for the Craftmad October Card Swap (more photos here).  Our theme was pink as it is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  I decided to make a Joy Fold card and started with some pink Linen Textured Cardstock, then layers of black.  Next I added wonderful papers from Bazzill the Vintage Marketplace range.  I paper pieced this wonderful stamp from A Passion for Stamps.  Then created the flower by dyeing some white lace in coffee for a short while, gathering the lace and adding the centre punched flower.  I finished with rub-ons at the top.  Originally was only going to add the word 'party' but the other words on the sheet just fell nicely on the card like this so I added them too.  Then a little black Happy Birthday sticker at the bottom.

I would like to join in the following challenges:

CR84FN Colour Challenge #2 - Lt Pink, Tan and Cream

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #186 - No Rules (must use stamp)
Alota Rubber Stamps #93 - Birthday Celebrations
