Guest Designing at ICR – Pink Challenge with a Twist

DSC03374
Wowieee!!! Second GD spot for me! I have been asked to do another GD spot too… you will find out about that in the near future. For now, I have been invited as a Guest Designer at ICR (Indian Craft Room) as I was one of the Top 5 in ICR4.
To play at ICR this week and the next, you have to create something Pinkalicious! 100% pink card, if you can’t make a complete 100% pink card (like me) you can add cream or white but NO black! There is a twist as well, the ICR team would like you to do the “tic tac toe” for combo/combo twist. Here is the Tic Tac Toe chart. I chose Flower, Ribbon and Button.
 
I was totally blank and then I saw the inspiration pic at Papercraft Star, just jump started my mojo a bit. I used the sketch at Skipping Stones.

The flower is handmade and is shaded pink (inner) to white (outer). The flower centre is a button. The stem is made of glitter balls from PIE LANE. The embellishments used to make “leaves” are from my stash. I added a bit of silver string. This is one of those cards that looks better in person.
