Pretty in Pastel Pink

Pastel colours are lovely, but shimmery pastels are even nicer! This Easter themed birthday card uses some of the really lovely Papermilldirect colours to full effect. On this card I used:

• Papermilldirect Seasideblue Non-shedding Glitter card
• Papermilldirect Petal Pink Pure Pearl card
• Papermilldirect Flamingo Pink Non-shedding Glitter card
• Papermilldirect White Card Blanks

I started my card by cutting a panel of the Seasideblue Non-shedding glitter card to go ontop of the white card blank. This non-shed glitter card is amazing, it really is non-shed. It is brilliant to get the glitter shimmer, without the mess!

I then took a panel of the Petal Pink Pearl card and die cut a floral rabbit shape from it. I will be using both the panel and the die cut later.

I used a poker tool to get all the small pieces of the die cut out from the rabbit, since I wanted to use it on the card. Take your time on dies like this. Patience is the name of the game!

For the remaining panel, I embossed it with a polkadot embossing folder, and adhered it over the blue layer.

I added foam to the back of the bunny die cut. This can take a while on these die cut pieces as you have to cut down foam squares to fit in behind all the intricate pieces. I then added this onto the card, over where it was cut from. It gives a fun poped out effect.

I made a birthday sentiment banner using the petal pink and pink flamingo. I also created a pink paper bow using the pink flamingo card. I added the banner under the bunny die cut.

I added the bow and some gems and the card was done! Two pastel colours and it is pretty, floral and easter fun :)
