Challenge 68 - Fussy and Fancy OR Clean and Simple

Hi Lovely Pinkies....

Surprise!  It's Kat here today with your new challenge!
Our lovely Rizzo currently has no internet access so I have been let loose at the Pink Palace - eeeek!

My first duty is a very sad one because I have to tell you that this is Rebecca's last challenge with us as she is leaving to pursue new and exciting things with a new job.
She has been a wonderful member of our team and we will miss her stunning pink creations.
We have had a few farewell glasses of pink champagne (hic!) and we wish her all the very best...sob sob...oh dear...the tissue box is empty again...

So, on to the business of our new challenge for you...  and the theme (or is it two themes?!) is 

FUSSY AND FANCY
OR
CLEAN AND SIMPLE
(in pink of course...)

So whether you like to load up your cards with gorgeous embellies and lots of layers or you like a more pared down approach EVERYONE can join in this challenge!
Don't forget our number one rule though, that you use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (with the exception of white of course..)

Here's what the lovely Pink Ladies came up with...can you already guess who will go for which style?

Christine (AKA Rizzo)


Kat

Vannessa

Rebecca
(with a super stunning last card for us - I highly recommend you go and follow her blog so you don't miss her fab creations in future!)

Debs

And a card from our guest designer Sue at Tanglemouse cards - thanks for joining us for the past couple of challenges!

Our wonderfully kind and generous sponsor this time is Little Miss Muffet Stamps, who are offering a $6 voucher to one of our Perfect Pinkies, picked at random.


We also have 2 designers from Little Miss Muffet Stamps joining us and here are their cards;

Barbara

Melissa

Whatever your style I hope you will play along with us this week and we can't wait to see what you create...but don't forget our number one rule...you must use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR!

Well, I have enjoyed being in the pink hot seat for this challenge...but will be quite glad to have Rizzo back next time!

Big hugs,
Kat and the Pink Ladies
