Pink & Girlie

I must admit I'm a bit out of my comfort zone when making girlie cards - and all in pink too!!! 
But I discovered this beautiful sketch and thought it would be a perfect starting point for the beautiful La La Land stamp I received as a gift from Kasey.
I have distressed the edges of the oval panels with Milled lavender colored ink. And I have also used lace and flowers.
 
I participate in these challenges with this card:
1) Sketch Saturday - SKETCH* #209
2) Send a Smile for Kids - Anything goes for kids

    A sweet card. You have done girlie very well, nice subtle pink and very pretty lace. You started with the sketch too. Some sketches just ask to be used.

    Hi Pia,

    I absolutely love this, while you may think it's outside your comfort zone working with pretty girly colours and images, you have done an outstanding job.

    That lace is divine and your card design is lovely. I'm so glad my little gift has challenged you to make this beautiful card.

    I saw your link on MIM. I'm #138 & 153 this week.

    Cheers,
    Kasey ~ in Oz
