Simple monochrome card

Hiya Everyone!

I've been very busy re-jigging my craft room and making better use of the space I have this week. I have put my new promarker storage unit after I finally finshed it into my craft room as I finished it off downstairs watching TV and it stayed there till I could be bother moving it Lol!

This card is the first card I've made especially for blog challenges this year. I have used this fabulous bird digi stamp which is a freebie download from pink petticoat which can be found here. I cut a square of white card which I cut roughly in half and used my swiss dots embossing folder to emboss the bottom half. I stuck both halves onto a slightly larger light pink square. I then took some pink ribbon and tied it to the side of the card. I printed out my image onto rymans card which I then mounted onto the same pink card. I coloured in the flowers, hearts and beak with my rose pink promarker and used my diamond stickles glitterglue on the wing of the bird and around the edge of the white card. I mounted this with foam pads to the left of the bow. I then added 3 pink adhesive gems to the top left corner to finish it off.

It is a lot plainer than I would normally make but I made it specifically for a number of challenges that I'd been eyeing up in the last few days.
