I was so excited when Tracey invited me to join the 12 Kits of Occasions for the month of April - it has been a long time since I was in this group, and I was really excited to receive Tracey’s beautiful kit in the mail. It was chock full of PINK!
I was able to make 3 cards for today, but there is SO much left over I could probably make a half a dozen extra cards. Though Teddy did chew up some of your flower die cuts, Tracey! At least he had some fun with the kit too…
I love this flower image - I ended up coloring it with a Wink of Stella and it’s super shimmery in real life:
For my last card, I tried my hand at that slangy-card thing one more time, tucking the sentiment in the corner too:
I was glad to try out some feathers - they’re not something I have on hand here and these die cuts are perfectly delicate. In hindsight, I wish there were MORE pink on this card. :)
For all the details about the kit, you can head on over to the 12 Kits blog for more information and for more inspiration from the team members!
Thank you so much, Tracey! You’re the sweetest!

And the border off the side gives it a lot of interest, too :) I also like how the doily hangs off the card in the first one, and of course who doesn’t like feathers for the 3rd? It was great to have you back again :)
