A Pretty in Pink ATC

Good Morning! I had to get up really early today to take my 8th grader to school so she can help the grade 6 kids get ready for the first day of school next week. So, I've been getting caught up in blogland!!!

I made this ATC last night for the There She Goes Challenge #69 and although it has been a long time since I've made one, I really enjoyed working on a project of this size and scale again! They are so cute, and they can be used in several different ways...love that!

I used the colors over at Picture Perfect Creations #27 and the sketch from CPS #181 but I turned it on it's side! I wish you could see how sparkly this is in real life...I added a touch of Cotton Candy Stickles to the tips of the flowers and it just shines in the sunlight...you'll have to take my word for it though!

My Crafty Recipe:
Stamp: Rubber Stamped 'Solidago Sprig'
Inks: Memento - Pear Tart, Rose Bud, Angel Pink, ColorBox - Blue Iris
Paper: Bazzill French Vanilla, DCWV green cdstk
Other: Martha Stewart classic butterfly punch, Cotton Candy Stickles, Recollections pearls, copic YG63

Have a great day...

Hi - I can't sleep...so here I am...sharing another card with you! I fell under the spell of the magical craft room (as discussed in an earlier post) and lost track of time...I thought I would not be able to fit in the PPC challenge this week, but as it turns out I am going to make it so I guess there's one good reason I'm not sleeping! psst...I do dream about cards...sometimes I get a really great idea while I'm laying in bed right before I go to sleep and sometimes right before I get out of bed!
