Pink, Banana and Slate

This week's color combination over at Inkspirational is one I've never tried before - it certainly was something different to me! I've used what I believe to be pink, banana and slate, and I've just added a little bit of kraft and a neutral colored vellum paper with music notes print - hope that's OK. I rarely use flowers and not so often a sentiment only  - this one says something like "sending you hugs" in Norwegian.
The yellow and pink DPs came free with a magazine, the other papers are from my stash. I used a Spellbinder die for the sentiment, added 4 pink pearls to it, and the fishtail banner is hand cut. The ribbon was part of a candy I won. I added a key metal charm to it as well as two punched butterflies. The edges are machine stitched with a glitter thread - it changes colors in different lights so maybe it's more fair to say it's "holographic". Anyway, I found it in one of my mother's drawers - apparently it was something she purchased back in the 80s. Once it's all used up I hope to find something similar.
Hope you've all had a nice Easter and/or weekend. I spent 4 lovely days in the Czech capital, Prague, a wonderful city with lots of history and the most beautiful buildings! Good to back though as I've missed crafting and all that comes with it.
