Well, we haven't seen much sunshine so far for our cottage holiday in Dorset but have still enjoyed some lovely walks and a visit to Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, which were beautiful.
Now it is of course time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this time is...
VINTAGE / SHABBY CHIC
I have been enjoying making cards with a slightly shabby chic feel lately and the one I am sharing today was actually requested by my hairdresser for her Mum's special birthday.
It is very similar to a layout I did recently and it was so good I just had to use it again, but this time with a sewing machine image from Pink Petticoat. It's a sweet and simple design but perfect for dressing up with lots of pretty embellishments.
And how timely that one of the magazines I subscribe to had a free gift of sewing themed charms so I added one on here!
I added extra prettiness to the digi image with liquid pearl dots on the flower centres and Frantage round the edge.
I've popped a little tag behind the image with the special greeting on it; it's a cute way to add an interactive touch I think.
