Justin in pink...

...Hee hee, thought that title might make you look. Lol.

Happy Thursday to you all and a big welcome to all my new followers.

I was asked by a girl I used to work with, to make a card for her daughters 16th birthday. The only conditions were that it had to have a piccy of Justin Bieber on and lots of pink.
Well the pink was no problem whatsoever, I am still a girly girl afterall...but Justin...
Then I thought back to when I was a teen ( I know, I know, that was in the dark ages) and the crushes I had on pop stars and celebs. At 14 I had posters all over my bedroom wall of Peter Frampton. he was the lead singer with a group called The Herd and I was so madly in love with him, I kissed his picture every night before I went to bed. At 16 he was voted the `face of  `68` and by heck he was gorgeous.
As I got a bit older David Essex took over in my affections and if I`m honest, even in my 40`s I had a bit of a crush on Mel Gibson (more than a bit maybe) lol.
So I can understand why Bekky is into Justin and thought it might be interesting to hear who you lot held close to your hearts in your youth. Could be interesting...

Right, waffle over, my card for today,featuring a very young Justin, is also my Snippet make for Jules Crafty Snippet Challenge # 20.

I managed to find a quite large piece of white card for the base, made it a 5x5 square and used my Martha Stewart Doily Punch along the bottom.
I found 3 scraps of Papermania Blueberry Hill papers, one large with roses and 2 smaller tone on tone ones.
I used the Doily Punch on two of the strips and also two strips of white copy paper to make the frill. I also punched the top, rose layer to give it a good finish.
I did have to cheat a bit and use a full sheet of photo paper for the main piccy because it wouldn`t go through the printer otherwise and also the card for the sentiment but they`ll go back in the bit box for future use.
The no 16 is stamped in Versafine using numbers from Waltzing Mouse Victorian Alaphabet set.
I had some scraps of pink vellum on my desk from an earlier card so made some Rolled Roses ( not very easy with vellum) and a butterfly using a Docrafts stamp and Pink Versacolour ink and clear EP.
The pic and sentiments are cut out with  nestie circle dies and matted onto the last of the scraps of pink paper cut out with a nestie scallop die.

Edited to add, the first love of my life lol. This is Peter Frampton. Just look at that face (sigh) and the hair...This middle aged grandmother has just been transported back in time about 40 odd years. Unfortunately he doesn`t look this good anymore `cos he`s aged too but a girl can still dream......

Well that`s made another small dent in the pile of scraps and I`ve got my thinking cap on for next weeks challenge.

Thanks for popping in...Lynne xxx
