Life and Lemons

Hi Everyone

Here I am sharing another inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop 

This time I have used a pre coloured card kit.  I used the Topper and one of the sentiments but when you buy the kit you get inserts and little images too.

This one is the recently released When Life Gives You Lemons card kit and I have used a Black encapsulated Glitter card and a yellow plain card and a yellow polka dot card to create the layers.  I added quite a few layers to this card and finished by decorating with black pearl gems.

The theme for this month is a special one for the DT at the challenge as it is in memory of Eileen who was the original owner of CCC Digi Creations and it's sister challenge Creative Craft Cottage.  Sadly four years ago Eileen lost her battle with cancer adn she is missed very much by the DT most of whom have stayed on the team.

The theme is Anything Goes with the option of Adding a Lavender Ribbon or Bow which the DT have all added for Eileen.  This is not an entry requirement though
