Pink Elephant Challenge #3 and Colour Create Pink and Gray Combo

This week over at The Pink Elephant, there is a great sketch challenge done by TPE's very own Carol. It is such a great sketch and I decided to make a cute card for the first time. I also combined this challenge with a color challenge over at Colour Create. They are doing a Gray and Pink Combo. So here is the 2 birds 1 stone approach! Here is the sketch followed by my take. For this challenge I used SU cardstock in Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose and Going Gray. I also used some more yummy paper from the Urban Oasis Line. I turned it so it would look like x's, since this is a hugs and kisses kind card. I also used a little piece of pink swirl from the Bella Birds line, as well as a great scrap that I found in my scrap drawer.
The stamp is just so sweet, and I'll find the maker for you, just can't remember off the top of my head. I used 2 different ribbon, 1 black and one thin pink. Then I thought I would get adventurous and try my hand a quilling that flourish. Using pink and grey paper, it came together. Then to finish this "hoot" of a card, I put some small liquid pearl dots around the flourishes in gray. TADA!!!! My very first cute card. What do ya think?
Thank you so much for coming by and taking a look at another one of my creations. Your comments are so appreciated. Take care and until next time
Happy Crafting

  14. Beautiful card. Do you have any tips for the quilling flourish you did? I have tried using tight rolls, but never have had success with the loose ones. How do you glue them down without getting blobs of glue everywhere? thanks!
