I always like to try to combine challenges, it makes me think a little harder and that can't be bad for the old grey cells!
This card has combined the sketch from Pink Elephant with the list of elements required from the ABC Challenge, which is 1 ribbon, 3 flowers and 6 brads.
I don't know if other people have the same problem as me when it comes to positioning brads. The prongs (if that is what you call them) are seldom in the centre of the brad and if, as in this card, I want to place them centrally on another shape, the fact that the opening pieces are off-centre means that they end up a little ski-whiff. My way of overcoming this is to cut them off with wire cutters and stick the brads onto the card with sticky dots.
The papers are Pink Petticoat, the flowers, brads, adhesive pearls and sentiment are from Papermania. The leaves have been punched with a super Leonie Em punch.
This looks blue in the picture, but in fact it has somewhat of a violet hue.
Beautiful card, what a fertile imagination you have :o)

I love everything about this card. The brads the blue/violet shades, the primas, the decorative paper, and the embossed border! To line up brads, I use the template by Stampin' Up! It's near the back of the catty. Now My brads, eyelets, snaps, and paper pircing are much better...I use that template all the time :)
