Challenge #31 - A Theme Challenge

This fortnight's challenge is a theme challenge - to honour July being my birthday month, we challenge you to make a birthday card or project with a simple side twist of using any shade of pink (my favourite colour along with black!)

Here's Amy's cute hot air balloon card. I love all the stitching she has done.

Up next is a cute gatefold with a twist card from Elaine. I love the interlocking squares! The first photo shows the card closed.

And this is the pretty inside too.
