A Gem of a Challenge - pink, blue & green

Hello!  Sorry for disappearing over the last few days... hubby's in hospital :o(  They finally decided he's got pneumonia, and that it's probably the cause of most of his problems, but they're just running some tests to rule other stuff out.  They might let him out this evening if his tests come back ok today, fingers crossed!

Right, so onto today's card, which is for our new challenge at A Gem of a Challenge - it was my turn to choose the theme, and I decided to go with one of my current favourite colour combinations, 'pink, blue & green'.  Luckily my card was made earlier in the week or I don't think I'd have managed it!




I've used the very cute Jodie for my card, coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers, with a bit of sparkle using a sakura clear stardust pen on her trousers.  The papers are from the fabulous Raspberry Rd, printed onto linen card - I've just spotted lots of new sets that I need... well, I deserve a treat after the week I've had, don't you think?  The swirl is the 'fanciful flourish' die by Cheery Lynn, flower and heart pearl from my stash, ribbon from The Stamp Basket and sentiment is LOTV.

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

I'm very behind with commenting obviously - will try and catch up with as many of you as I can today!  Have a lovely day, whatever you're up to :o)
