Recently I was a featured creator at Scrapping4fun Challenges with the birthday card I made for my Mother in Law.

I was asked if I would like to be a guest designer for the new challenge 192 which starts today. Of course I jumped at the chance.

The theme for this challenge is Pastel Colours with Flowers


We were chatting to our next door neighbour who mentioned that his daughter is moving out soon and buying her first home with her boyfriend. The weird thing is that I had already printed out this image and sentiment to make a new home card using the Facebook Progressive Freebie Challenge set Tweet from Stamper’s Delights.

Now I don't often make cards using pastel colours but I recently won a lovely paper pad from Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper challenge and it is all subtle florals which I thought would be perfect.

613 Avenue Create has a challenge using a mood board and the colours of pink and green stood out to me so I used those colours plus yellow to match the colours in the paper.


I used Promarkers and pencils to colour and fussy cut around the edges. I mounted on thin foam pads for dimension. The sentiment is an old freebie from The Stamp Fairy.

I used a 6" gold mirror card blank and trimmed the paper a little so a small border of gold shows around the edge to highlight the gold in the paper.

I used some domed glitter dot embellishments for the flower centres and finally added some lovebird puffy stickers which are from Paperchase.

Thank you to Scrapping4fun Challenges for the opportunity to be a Guest DT on this challenge. Head on over there yourself to take part with you pastel coloured floral creations.
