I began by cutting out some ovals with my Nestabilities and stamping and embossing each lady in turn. Then for my splash of colour I used a vibrant pink from my Twinkling H2o's to pick out a detail on each image.
As this is the first image and forms the front of the card I painted a tiny piece of cardstock with the hot pink and diecut the number 60, then stamped the Birthday Greetings just below the image (phew - got it right)
It needed a little bit more to it so I looked at my MS punches but they were too broad so I remembered the paper lace I got from Lakeland Plastics (how I regretted not having got more of this as I saw that Ali Crafts sells it in packs - ah well, Leigh show is coming up and they will be there) and put that at the top and bottom of each page.
So there it is, killing two birds with one stone - a card for Chris and my entry for this weeks Play Date Cafe. Black and White with a 'Splash' of Pink! (Although it looks pale pink now that I look at my blog - must be the reflection from the towel I stood it against)
