AWIC 2- Day 4 and OLW#44

Wow!! Did I miss so many OLW challenges? Quite a few I guess. Today's entry is very mediocre by my standards..maybe because I've not been able to photograph them well...I could try a lighter background to get better pics, but my back's not upto it. New bed and new mattresses have made life hell for my already broken back. And the fact that it took me 5 tries to get the cards done. Let's not vent over here.
 Also my entry for AWIC day 4.

Anyways, this week's OLW is to find inspiration from Marta Dansie's pinterest. I'm on Pinterest and its addicting.
Here's my inspiration photo, followed by my cards..
I loved this set..for its colors, its design and for the fact that I had all the supplies to make this.

This is the 2nd time in 3 yrs that I'm using this stamp set. Got any of those? This is a Sassafrass lass Flip-a-roo stamp. Which means, you can use both the sides of the stamp..the pink is stamped with reverse of the grey image. Don't know if I'm making any sense!
Hobby ideas dark grey ink and memento Angel Pink dew drop.

Since I'm on a 2 card roll, I couldn't leave the r.s.v.p alone. I had to use that to make another card..its 3x3 tiny card..finally used my new Unity Burlap background. Honestly, its too tiny to classify as a background.

Loads of masking..use the post it's to mask the layers before stamping. This card is try no.3. Annabelle stamps again for the sentiment.
Maybe I should have used the darker pink. This is barely visible. Eh! as I said, bad day..couldn't do it more again.

  6. I have the same colour combination going in my mind since days! I have the pattern paper printed out and I just couldnt decide how I am suppose to go about with it! This is crazy cool! I love these circles and your pink is cute and soft, it's not so light. The white cardstock in harder to photograph.
