CASE and Pastel Colors

This card I made with a some different challenges in mind.
One of the inspirational sources is the CASE card over at Inksrpirational: I used a large flower, a butterfly, pearls, a banner for the sentiment, a doily for the round shape and layered panels.
I also used some yellowish accents, with the flower, skeleton leaf and striped paper.
The DPs are from Prima. I layered them onto pink cardstock. I stitched around the edges with golden thread. The doily has a coat of pink metallic rub on. The frame is a chipboard sticker from BasicGrey. The hand cut banner has a heat embossed birthday greeting.

This card is for these challenges:
1) Inkspirational - #29 CASE
2)  Crafty Sentiments - Female Birthdays
3) Artistic Inspirations - Pastel Colors
4) BasicGrey - Flowers
5) Incy Wincy Designs - Things with Wings
6) Make it Monday - Anything Goes

    Gorgeous card Pia...love the soft colours and that frame is fabulous. Love your gold stitching as well...I'm always apprehensive using the metallic threads as they usually snag on me...well done, yours are perfect. hugs, Pat K x

    I am doing a Happy Dance.....I love this card, it seems quite different for you-perhaps it is the girly pink?? I love that flower with the thin net leaf and the way you have placed the frame over the doily positioning this to the left-so much adorable detail Pia! Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational x
