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?

This is gorgeous - I love the colours (must have a go at that challenge) and I love your layout and stamp. The quilled swirls are just wonderful - something else for me to try.

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!
