Girl Time with The Paper Players

Happy Sunday,  y'all!  Seems like stampers enjoyed Stef's sketch last week for The Paper Players just as much as I did : ) and now it's time for a new challenge brought to us by the wonderful Jaydee:

Girl time!  Your card doesn't have to be pink, but mine is.  Here's what I made:

I once went on a girls' trip to Paris with my friend Krissy (we lived in Germany at the time so it was just a short train ride away, so why not) and I had Paris on the brain because I recently bought some address labels with artwork of the Eiffel Tower and flowers on them, so I thought I'd make that in card form.  I actually started this card with the Eyelet Blooms die that was the April product of the month and built everything else on top of it.  I love the look of pale Pink Pirouette with black accents, and added in a bit of Pool Party just because I liked it.  The big flowers are from an old, old stamp set called Embrace Life, and I used a blending brush to add some ink to the flower centers and then used a marker to add darker pink too before I fussy cut them.  A few rhinestones and some crocheted trim and here we are.

Hope you'll enjoy this challenge too, after all we have Mother's Day coming up so we need some feminine cards, right?  The hubs asked me the other day if I wanted anything in particular for Mother's Day and I told him he bought me two more orchids at the store the other day...okay I bought them but he has to take care of them because both my thumbs are the blackest black and I can't keep plants alive for anything.  We already had a yellow orchid, and I got a blue-violet one with freckles and a teeny-tiny one with white flowers.  I do love to have orchids by my kitchen sink, especially since I'm not the one taking care of them.  We had five tiny ones above our kitchen sink in Germany.
