The pink to end all pinks....

A looooong time ago I used to work at a wedding invitation and party store and was surrounded by pretty paper all day long 😍. One of the perks of this job was a discount on all of those delicious A4 sized sheets of paper and cardstock and I made pretty good use of that perk however years later I still have a fair amount of all that card making stuff that I never get into. On my journey to try and use up all those long forgotten treasures I dug out all my pearl card and was inspired to make something using this pink to end all pinks 😂.

I absoloutley love this pattern paper. My kids are teenagers now and this kind of pattern does not really appeal to them anymore but it's the kind of pink and fun pattern that I love.

I pulled out another stamp that I have not managed to use yet and found the perfect stamp in a Close To My Heart set that I got A little while back. It was also really fun to pull out some embossing powder and have a play with that is a product that I not only love using but also love the finished look of, I simply do not get it out enough.

Sometimes a project that we have planned out in our head does not end up working out the way that we want, happens to the best of us from time to time. I recently made a card using some mystery foil that I now know is clearly of dubious origins but at the time just saw as reguar foil, anyways this foil just would just not do what I wanted it to do and i ended up getting less than stellar results from it.... never mind I still put it to good use for this fun and bright card. It is good to remember that sometimes mistakes or unexpected results can actually turn into wonderful projects or spark your creativity.

I actually really love how this card turned out and am glad that I got to have a play with this My Favourite Things stamp set that I have had for a while but as usual have not had a chance to play around with it. Next time I use this set I would love to make some fun and bright gift tags.
