Hello Everyone...
Its time for the new monthly challenge over at
The theme of our Challenge this month is a lovely and easy one... NUMBERS
I have made 2 cards for the challenge,
please scroll further down my post for my 2nd card.
My first card was made for Kathryn who recently celebrated her 50th birthday and I wanted to make her a special card using this fabulous die set from Tonic... it did take me a while to die cut all the items, but once cut, the card came together quite quickly. I decided to leave most of the die cuts cream and just highlighted certain die cuts with pink ink, which I think makes them pop.

A great contemporary 21st card and the paper piecing is a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.
Your easel cards are also so pretty.
Wow - this is quite the card and is perfect for our shaped card challenge at Cardz4galz. You have put a lot of effort into this creation and it shows. I love the softness of the pink over the cream card stock. Thanks for participating and I hope we see more of your creations soon. Johanna DT at cardz4galz
