A PINK BIRTHDAY CARD

I needed to make a pink birthday card for a friend's daughter, and so decided to team it up with card for the DT Call at Sassy's Cheryl's and an entry into the CMC Copics Challenge that calls for brunette hair colouring.


The image is (I think) called "All the frills" from Sassy Cheryl that once was a freebie.  I used alcohol markers and a white gel pen for the colouring.  Some Stickles were added too.


To make up my card I used the following from my stash:

white CS base card
pink CS card mat
pink/white striped, pink/white spots and pink white flourish DP
strip of self adhesive lace
string of flat back pearls
single fancy pearl
white die cut foliage
punched pink CS butterflies
layered paper and fabric flowers
organza and seed bead embellishments 
sewn on sequins and seed beads
pink satin ribbon bow
pink button
peel off sentiment that has been coloured using Copics

I would like to add this card to the following challenges too:

ECLECTIC ELLAPU, B IS FOR … (BUTTON, BOW, BLOOM, BEAD, BUTTERFLY, BANGLE, BORDER)
NO MATTER WHICH CHALLENGES, #10, BINGO (I HAVE all EXCEPT THE BORDER PUNCH – yay!)
