My first easel card

I keep seeing these easel cards around blogland and wanted to give it a try.
Love the pink and grey colour combo from Cute Card Thursday it is sooo pretty and girly and the layout is from a sketch C.R.A.F.T. which I rotated to the left. C.R.A.F.T. are looking for Guest designers!

My photography skills are rubbish, think I need to enroll onto a photography course haha!!

I am entering the card into the following challenges.

C.R.A.F.T Challenges - sketch
Cute Card Thursday - Pink and Grey
One Stop Craft Challenge - Fancy edges and borders
2 Red Bananas - Think round
Crafty Cardmakers - something new... this is my first Easel card!
Cupcake Craft Challenge - Going girly!!!
Humble Pie Stamps - at least 2 lots of bling

Products:

Prima flowers and some from stash
Pink strands and bead from a wedding favour which I have recycled!
Stamp Whiff of Joy willow with umberella coloured in with promarkers
Ribbon/lace and buckle from stash
