Do you love Pastels?

Good Morning? Time for tea?  Today we have a wonderful challenge beginning at Card Crafter's Corner.  It's all about Pastels.  Now I'm not fantastic with pastels but I've given it my best shot.  I have printed off a fantastic pre-coloured image from Happileigh Scrappin'.  This I cut out and popped it on a diecut that I ran through my cuttlebug (swiss dots folder) and to add as a highlight I matted it to some black paper that I cut to match the die cut.  (There wasn't a bigger sized die.)  I put this over a sheet of blue that I used some decorative scissors to add the corners and border, highlighting the black matt underneith. Before adhering them together I wrapped a piece of lacy ribbon around the blue layer.  After putting it all together on the card base, I popped the sentiment into the corner and added a few flowers and a bow.
This week we have a fantastic sponsor.  Happileigh Scappin' and the prize is all the images used by the design team!
Thanks for staying for a spot of tea! Do pop over to the Card Crafter's Circle to see the other wonderful creations the DT has to share with you!

This is such a sweet little card, Jennifer. You've done aa FAB job with it. I so like the colour you've used, and the little tea pot image is so charming (reminds me of our day of day together tho miles apart). Wonderful card!
