joy in pink - Simon says stamp challenge sketch time + Pear Tree Designs challenge 32-free for all

Good morning all wherever you are I hope the sun is shining on you it was glorious here yesterday and what a difference a bit of sunshine can do for your mood...I had planned to have a crafting day but ended up having a sort through my goodies to see what I had and just made this card, instead of the 6 I had planned to make, but that's what happens when you find a paper pad you had forgot you had and some stunningly gorgeous velvet ribbon under the sofa along with a box of red pins I had bought for Christmas and a punch...oops I really must sort out my craft room more regularly but at least I managed one card...how beautiful is Joy from Sugar Nellie, amazing to colour with Distress inks too, Im loving these new images are you, the paper pad I found and used is from the Papermania Signature range and the pad is called Regency...beautiful soft greens, creams and pinks, I used this amazing ribbon but used the lot I'm afraid so I need more, if only I could remember where it came from I would be sorted...I finished with a selection of roses and satin leaves...for a change I'm quite happy with my colouring on this one, now there's a rare thing lol...I used the sketch tipped on its side from Simon says Stamps challenge and am entering this for the Pear Tree Designs challenge too...have a wonderful day everyone
