Todays card is another sample rom my shows on Sunday and yes it does look a little pink however it is more subtle than that as it uses a crisp white and a blush foundation card. Now the blush card looks like ivory and is very pale until it is against white then it shines in pink!
I cut the fancy frame from couture creations using the striped card that was in the special finishes card pack, you kn ow mw I love a special finish card. I then cut the waste piece into a square and stuck it down to a piece of blush foundation card using a double sided adhesive sheet. Next I covered the aperture in glacier ice to give this shimmering yet subtle look.
I ran a piece of the blush card through the GC with the large retro flowers embossing folder from Couture Creations and extended the pattern by running it through again.
A few layers of the white and blush card, a strip of ribbon and a liberal supply of cosmic shimmer ivory PVA dotted about and I made up the finished card.
Ingredients:
Couture Creations Dies -
Celebrate
Fancy Frame
Swirl
Large Retro Flowers A5 embossing Folder
Striped white and Blush foundation card
Cosmic Shimmer PVA in ivory & Pastel Pink
Glacier Ice glitter jewels
Enjoy...
