SCRAPFRIENDS COLOUR CHALLENGE ~ MAYBE I OVER PINKED YOU & A DT CALL

Afternoon peoples

I have hooked the computer up seeing the floorboards are laid, so I have a couple of days reprieve until the sanding and lacquering takes place. So thought I would do a quick post.
I really loved the soft colours of the challenge at Scrapfriends at the moment


It made me think how when I had our daughter after two boys I really may have over pinked her. Her bedroom was all decked out in pink , well you know there are so many pretty things for little girls. 
I have added crackle medium to the flourish . Some plasterer's tape and gesso. Little pearls and lace from Craftqueen 
My three gorgeous kidlets all dressed up to go to my nieces wedding

 I also received my order from Scrapfriends this day which contained the Artisan Circles and some perfect pearls and glitter that screamed this challenge.
The flowers are from Craftqueen. I have used sections of the Cherry Blossom mask and coloured it with the Perfect Pearls


I have also gone around the edge of the layout with washi tape to frame the layout
Layers of lace and ribbon and tiny twine. More plasterer's tape over the doily
Chels could have been the flowergirl, she looked so beautiful. She even had little lace gloves 

I have added journalling on a tag slipped in the side and it says ~ We may have over pinked you. When you were born after your two brothers I couldn't believe I had a little girl.  So you had all the things a little girl could have. Ribbons, frills, bangles and curls. Your room was decked out in pink.
You had Barbie dolls & all the Barbie outfits ect, but you only really ever had one favourite doll and that was Patsy a Cabbage Patch doll. You were happiest being a tom boy. You loved tagging along with your brothers and their friends. You were however very pleased with your outfit to your cousin Ann Maree's wedding. You even had a pair of lacey gloves.


Thanks for looking, getting rather uncomfortable lying on the floor typing this. Renovations can be so inconvenient .
Love and Peace
