The dare was that one had to use pink besides using at least one of the Die-Namites dies. Well I only have one die so far from them, so it was all I had to work with. But I think with the wonderful pattern papers from the Gina K. Designs Fight Like a Girl pack I think I pulled it off. I also added various shades of flat daisies to make a more substantial looking bloom. I used my Craft-Dee Bowz bow making tool to make a bow that corresponded in similar pink shades. My sentiment is from the Gina K. Designs Stippled Nature set.
My card will be lined inside it as the darker card stocks do not show up well when one stamps on them. I am still debating on an inside verse so that will be finished later on. That way I can have the verse fit the recipient!
Below is the sketch.
And here is the die I used:
I know I was limited on what I could do but I tried to sort of follow the sketch. Anyway, I had so much fun making this card design so even if I did not quite do the challenge right it was a great opportunity for me to get creative. And I always like to do my own interpretation of a sketch.
Thanks so much for visiting and for all the wonderful comments you always leave me. Have a great weekend.
God bless,
Verna

This is a really pretty card, Verna. The die cut sets it off perfectly... no need for much of anything. Well done!

Great take on the sketch. Like the background paper with the darker cut.
I like the black with the soft colors -- were you able to upload this in the challenge? I couldn't find the linky to do it!
I noticed I have the link at the top and is highlighted. It is named Die-Namites blog, So click there and you can find where to link at the bottom. Only the names show of the artists, and not the complete creations.
so pretty...
Spot on, and gorgeous!!!
Very pretty card. The black die is very striking against the ink. Hugz
