Pink is my favorite color & I've always loved gold. However, I didn't use them together until I started seeing the combo in blogland the last year or so. This card is based on Viva la Verve February week 2 sketch using the elements in Alexandra's challenge at Scrap RDV: metallic, doily, foliage, flower, stamp. |
| Alexandra's Inspiration Card |
My stamps are Penny Black's Music Background & Stampendous! Simple Wishes. The dies are 4EnScrap Feuillage & Jardinage & MFT Dizzy Doily, Fishtail Flags, Mini Rolled Roses. The pink & green felt are also MFT. Used a bit more of 2 Making Memories printed papers I've had a long time. The background is stamped with Distress Ink antique linen & I inked a white cardstock scrap with Delicata Golden Glitz (my favorite!) before die-cutting the doily. Finished off with various sized pink pearls--also a favorite. I do enjoy trying new techniques & trends, but this card is really me.

Greta, I love your card it's beautiful, so soft and gentle. The three pink papers co-ordinate so well and the doily looks stunning against the flower spray.

ReplyDeleteGreta this is ever so sweet, just like you!! Love those pretty little rolled roses and pink pearls. I've done the upside down thing too, more than once!

I gave her a trick but no treats!!
