Pink Elephant Challenge

Happy Valentine's Day. I have been without electricity for almost 3 days. We had some really bad thunderstorms on Tuesday, and the power came back on last night. My little boy, Cameron, loves the Backyardigans on Nick Jr. This is his Valentine's Day present. It's a giant Pablo cuddle pillow. He just loves it.

This is the Pink Elephant's first card challenge and it is my first color challenge. For this card I used plain white card stock as a base. I cut out the center leaving a 1/2" boarder all the way around. I then used my Autumn Leaves Stamps on the outside boarder with pink ink. The center of the card I made using Lori's weaving technique. I the black and white paper I used is form Me and My Big Ideas and The Paper Company. The pink and White polka dot bow is made from Offray Ribbon. I added a Miss Elizabeth's birthday sticker and the pink flower is a scrap from another project.

  3. Love your weaving - I had a go at that too after Lori's tutorial. It's great fun.
    Glad you got your power back - oh I get so fed up when we only loose ours for a short time I really feel for you.
