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.

Perfect Sentiments: "Sympathy/Thinking of You"

Here is The Perfect Sentiment challenge for this week:

The challenge: create a card with a sentiment of sympathy or thinking of you

Just make sure to remember that your sentiment needs to be on the front of your card.

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

Here is the card I made for our challenge.  I hope it provides some inspiration.

My card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I used white cardstock for the base and cut some pink and green mats for my card.  The pink mat is 5 3/8"x4 1/8."  The green mat is 5 1/8"x3 7/8." 

I cut some white cardstock at 4 7/8"x3 5/8."  I stamped my sentiment is a pink pearlescent ink in the lower right hand corner.  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper.  I then embossed the white cardstock with the D'vine Swirls folder.

The flower is from Art Nouveau.  I cut it at 3 1/2."  I then used a Martha Stewart punch to cut some butterflies.  I folded up their wings and adhered them just by their bodies.  It gave the card some nice dimension.
