Hey lovely people! Despite being beaten by the heat I'm still feeling my jolly self! (For now!!

Lol Today's card I've gone all pink and girly and love it! :-) It's for a friends birthday who likes bright pink. She has ginger hair which I've never tried to colour before, wasn't really sure what colour Promarkers  to use I used: Victoria & Juliettes night out - Stamping Bella Uptown Girls Stamp Coloured with Promarkers Ribbon - The Ribbon Girl X-cut Daisy border punch Papers, pink pearls, resin rose from stash I went for a slight shabby chic feel for the current challenge at In The Pink!
