Our Mid month Challenge for the DT
at Stamping Sensations is to choose our least favourite colour and
create something using that colour. I have chosen to use pink! I never wear pink myself and I remember getting
very cross in Mothercare when Meg was a baby, as half the store was
pink and half was blue, with no other colours available! Fortunately
there seems to be more choice now. The shade of pink I like the least is
what I call Barbie Pink. If you have ever walked down that isle at Toys
r Us you will know what I mean! Anyway, back to my card.
As we are being sponsored by Crafty
Individuals this month I thought I would use their stamps for my card.
First I stamped a flower from CI 206 in picked raspberry distress ink
all over a 7x7 card. I then stamped around the edges with the same ink
using CI 116. Next I dusted some more picked raspberry around the edges.
I embossed a square of pink card with Victoriana cuttlebug embossing
folder and distressed with white ink. Taking a piece of the same pink
card, I stamped C1 134 using versafine black ink and embossed with clear
embossing powder and heat set. Then I matted this onto some silver
mirri card and layered onto the embossed pink card...and now I am going
for a lie down!
Thanks for looking and don't forget you still have time to enter our floral theme over on the challenge blog!
