This fairy tale Pink Castle in the Clouds card is my birthday card for my pink-and-princess obsessed niece who will be turning 5 in two weeks. It is also a double-challenge card: I used the great sketch from today's Sketch Challenge SC265 and yesterday's color Pretty Mambo Blossoms Color Challenge CC255 to use Pretty in Pink (middle cardstock layer), Melon Mambo (card base and mat for main image), and Blush Blossom (clouds and castle).
I really had fun creating the pink clouds surrounding my fairy tale castle--using masking and sponging. (I was inspired by the misty hills jdmommy (Anne) used in one of her cards today.) I love how this turned out!! The castle is colored with colored pencils. The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals. I used coordinating pink flower eyelets at the top to balance out my layout.
I'm thrilled that I got to make a card that I really needed and tickled pink that it turned out so well, thanks to these two great challenges.
Thanks for taking a look!!
