Happy Thursday,Well its all been a little brown or white this week so Today is Pink Day! Time to introduce some colour me thinks!
Today's card Is made completely with Blush card which looks really pink but is a lovely soft shade that only shows up when contrasted with white as I have on the final layer. I started by stamping the sentiment in Archival black ink onto blush card which I then cut out with the Couture Creations Lotus filet die. I then coloured the image in the die using spun sugar distress ink. Once removed from the die I shaded the edges using cut n dry foam and more of the distress ink.
I flat layered this onto another piece of the blush card and added a spray of waterlilies cut in parchment along with a knot of crinkle edge ribbon and some real sprays and embellishments.
I made the background by embossing a piece of the card with the large retro flowers embossing folder from Court Creations and extended the pattern. I shaded this with more spun sugar distress ink concentrating soon the edges to give a shaded look.To finish the card I simply layered a piece of the ribbon over the embossed panel and added it to a simple white mat. I always like to add a strip of ribbon if I have added a large bow or embellishment as I feel it balances the larger flourish. I simply added the stamped panel on top, using foam tape, and the card was finished.
Ingredients:
Blush Foundation card
Couture Creations Lotus Filet & Waterlily die sets
Couture Creations Large Retro Flowers embossing folder
CE Sentiment stamp
Enjoy...

beautiful card, and the embossing really brings it to life
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design John but far too much Pink for me, I am not a pink person so I would have kept the background just White with a Pink panel or changed colour completely lol! Love the layout though.

I'm not a pink person too (usually) but the last 2 cards I've been asked to make have been pink! Just goes to show! I love your card as it is so delicate Really must buy some of the foundation card you are now using
ReplyDeleteEh up John
ReplyDeleteLove the design, especially the "spray" but the pink is not for me. The middle photo is not so pink so guessing that's more representative of the true colour?
Have a great day.
