Perfect Sentiments: "Make it Feminine"

It is Wednesday and that means it is time for a challenge at The Perfect Sentiment.

 

This week's challenge is "Make it Feminine" and the challenge is to create a card with the sentiment on the front that is feminine.  Use glitter, bling, lace, basically anything that you think is feminine.

 

Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish and the winner will receive 5 free digis.

 

Here is what I have created this week:

My card is very simple, but I think it works.  The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I used white cardstock for the card base.  I then cut some dark pink cardstock at 4 3/4"x3 1/2."  I then cut more white cardstock at 4 5/8"x3 3/8."  I cut a strip of dark pink cardstock at 4 5/8"x 1/4."  The butterflies are from a punch that I found in my stash.  I cut five of them in a glittery white and one in a dark pink cardstock.  I covered the pink one in star dust Stickles.  I then added some pink bling in between all the butterflies.  I then used a stamp from My Pink Stamper for the sentiment.

 

Now, head on over to The Perfect Sentiment and link up your feminine card creation.  I can't wait to see what you create.
