Wonderful Mother ... PINK Inspiration!

This is MY PINK VICTORIAN home ... additional inspiration for this project :)

Well, thanks to a few challenges I found when I was visiting my favorite spots today, I have one Mother's Day card completed ahead of time!!! Isn't this card simply scrumptious? Love that pink!!!

I visited Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge #60 and decided that her sketch this week would work perfectly for what I had in mind for this design!

Then, when I hopped on over to The Play Date Cafe, my heart skipped a beat and I lost my breath. It was so sweet of Mona to create color challenge #21 {just for me} -- giggle, giggle!!

In all seriousness, you can tell by the pic of my house that I am a lover of everything *pink*!!! My formal dining & living rooms as well as my stamp room are all painted in shades of pink. I wear a ton of pink and all the flowers and shrubs planted around my house are various shades of pink. I just love it!!! I live in a house with THREE MEN, so I have to get my girl-y fix somewhere, right??

This color challenge of medium pink, pale pink and pale yellow appealed to me so much ... I could create 10 more cards based on this theme ... and I just may have to do that before the challenge expires :)

I'm also going to submit this card to Cute Card Thursday for their theme challenge this week - create a card for a speciall occassion.

I used some brand new DSP from Melissa Frances, glittered chipboard & candy dots from Pebbles, prima paper leaves, Pretty in Pink & So Saffron cardstock, Pretty in Pink satin ribbon from Stampin' Up!, oval nestie from Spellbinders and punch from Fiskars.

Love it ... love it ... love it!!!
