Challenge #65 - LOTS OF LAYERS

Hi Lovely Pinkies..

Wow.... it's so wonderful to see In The Pink growing and growing..  We'd like to give a big PINK welcome to our fabulous new followers lately - good to see you here!  Draw up a pink chair and take a look at our new challenge...

LOTS OF LAYERS
(Pink of Course)

We'd love to see what you can come up with using layers in some way or another..  we'll leave the interpretation up to you!  But don't forget our number one rule - THAT YOU USE MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (with the exception of white of course).

Here's what the lovely Pink Ladies have come up with:





(Viv is on a short break while she's in the throes of selling/moving house!)

Now...  we have a fabulous new Guest Designer joining our team for the next couple of challenges...  her name is Liz McGuire - and she's been chosen from our regular entrants!  Here's her wonderful card using lots of layers...


Here's a little bit about Liz...

Hi, I'm Liz McGuire and I'm so chuffed to be a guest at the Pink Palace.
I started making cards eight years ago at the dining room table. My blog 'buttons for brains' (blame my hubby for the name) was born a year later. I have now taken over the spare room and  I'm very lucky to have an extremely understanding hubby who just rolls his eyes when another jiffy bag pops through the door!

I make cards and write articles for the Practical Publishing family of magazines and also demonstrate for Trimcraft in Scottish branches of The Range chain of shops. I'll be out and about throughout the year so stop by and say hello!

Our kind and generous sponsor this time is The Ribbon Girl.... home of such wonderful crafty trimmings and embellishments... and they are providing a £10 gift voucher for the winner chosen at random from the Perfect Pinkies.


Another fabulous reason to join in!

Don't forget we have a fabbie Facebook page too - you can share your cards on there and join in the fun!



We do love to hear from you...  the wonderful comments on this blog tell us you're enjoying the challenge - so good to hear!

Big hugs..

Hi Pinkies

Here at the Pink Palace - we've been overwhelmed by your stunning entries lately...  it's just so wonderful to see that there's so much love for PINK in the world!!  We're getting entries now from far and wide...  wonderful to see!

Now, as it's getting close to Mother's Day here in the UK - today's new challenge is taking that into account - but we know it's later in the year in other parts of the world..  so our theme is:

FOR A SPECIAL LADY
(in PINK of course)

Let's see what you can come up with that's very feminine - but don't forget our number one rule - THAT YOU USE MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (with the exception of white of course).

Here's what the Pink Ladies came up with:








Now, we'd like to say a very big thank you to Sylvie, our lovely Guest Designer who joined us for the last two challenges.  Her card is a stunner.... but checkout the waves in the background - we're a little bit jealous of where she lives if that's her view!!



We have a wonderful new sponsor this time too - Tracy at Dies to Die For have very kindly offered us a £15 voucher for the random winner chosen from our Perfect Pinkies picked next time!! (exclusive of shipping costs of course).


Wow... that's a good enough reason to get out your PINK pens, paper and embellies, and get PINK crafting!!  We're looking forward to seeing what you come up with...

Don't forget we have a fabbie Facebook page too - you can share your cards on there and join in the fun!



Big hugs..
