Colour and sketch

My card today combines two challenges again - firstly, the Sweet Stop Shop challenge #195
which is a very structured sketch, and the challenge from colourq which is inspired by the following colours:

I felt I could combine these two challenges with the pretty paper I have just purchased from basicgrey - called kissing booth/butterfly kisses.  Here is my card:
I adapted the sketch to make the centre circle just a small button, added a flourish by MFT, and used a MFT pinking edge to separate the sections.  The floral paper incorporates all of the required colours, but I contrasted them with a small pattern dp in a coffee colour, from another basicgrey paper collection, called Little Black Dress and the vanilla and pale pink buttons and raspberry twine were added to provide a little more 'oomph'.  Hope you like the result and thanks for stopping by.

Wow!  Where has the year gone already?  We will soon be caught up with the 'busyness' of Christmas, summer and holidays no doubt, so I'm happy to welcome you to this month's Blog Hop and Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - let's have fun while we can! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours!

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...
