Pink and Grey

I decided to do something a bit different from my usual with my Promarkers, combining grey scale with a splash of pink, I rather like how it's turned out.  The image is a digi from Whimsy Stamps, I think she is just adorable.  To complete the topper, I added some Star Dust Stickles to the seed heads for a touch of sparkle.  The papers are Papermania Capsule Collection in Parkstone Pink, to which I've added some plain pink and dark grey pearl cardstock.  The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley stamp set and the flowers were made with Woodware punches.  I've finished off with my trademark ribbon, a bow and a scattering of gems and blobs of Pearl Pen.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -

In the Pink - pink + 1, I chose grey
Passion for Promarkers - #170 - shabby in pink or blue

  5. Love it in grey scale - often use that as it is so much softer. Another brilliant design
