Over-run with Caras ....

.... the name is obviously up at the top of the popular list at the moment.  I made a card a few weeks ago for the baby whose parents eventually plumped for the name Cara, and this one I've just finished is for a different baby Cara!!  (It's an Irish word meaning "friend", btw!).  I made this at a crop on Saturday at my friend's house (thanks, Julie Frog - I had a great day!).


I'm entering this into three challenges: Stampin for the Weekend "Monochromatic" - I've gone for shades of dusky pink, I've used this week's sketch challenge on Totally Gorjuss, and I've taken my soft pinks from the photo inspiration challenge on Basic Grey Challenges.

I've used the same stamp I used on the other Cara's card, and my all-time favourite BG Phresh & Phunky papers.

Here's a little close-up - hopefully you can see the sparkle on the image and flower:

Recipe:
Stamp: Penny Black
Papers: Basic Grey Phresh & Phunky
Colouring Medium: Prisma Pencils
Other: Nestabilities (thanks for the lend, Linda!), Stickles, Antique Linen Distress Ink, MS punch, Hero Arts flower, needle + thread

Thanks for looking!!

Love the card Julie. But as for the "Cara's". Our neighbours daughter had a baby girl just over a year ago now and named her Cara. It is a lovely name, but she and her husband work for Aer Lingus and the name of their inflight mag is.... Cara!
I kind of think that is strange calling your daughter after a magazine. lol.
