Card Challenge

I've never really considered myself a card maker, but when I saw the contest on Practical Scrappers and the amazing prize package, I had to participate!  The requirement for this round of cards is "pink".  Ugh.  Anyone who knows me well knows this is a realy challenge for me.  I have never been a fan of pink and I'm so lucky that I only have boys, but I busted out of my comfort zone for this one and found a few pink pieces of paper to work with.  The challenge allows for up to 3 cards to be submitted, so I made these:

I used my loopy punch around the page Martha Stewart punch to make the layers of loops and added some glitter to the Congratulations sentiment, although it's hard to see in the picture.

For this card, I pulled out some of my favorite patters from Echo Park's Life is Good collection.  I broke out my Sew Easy to add the stitching and then made the flower using little scalloped circles.

This card shows off more paper and elements from the Life is Good collection.  I added a little bling with my i-rock.

If any of my "pink" cards are chosen, then I will go on to the next round and will get another topic to work on, with people then being able to vote on their favorite.  This will continue until the final round in early November.  They are giving away an amazing prize package, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I at least make the first cut.
