In the Pink! A very "girly" card.
I had a card to make for a lovely friend. She loves PINK, vintage, shabby chic. If she were a flower she would be a rose - all beautiful and sweet. It seemed like a fairly simple task really as I already know a lot of things she likes. So with that in mind I set about attempting to translate this into my card design.
I thought I would use the card sketch from Just Add Inks Challenge for this week.
Well.....after much, stamping, cutting, embossing, trying this and that...
I finally came up with a card!
Base: Melon Mambo
Gingham Garden dsp
lace doily
Pistachio Pudding strip embossed with Delicate Designs emboss folder.
I embossed the Apothecary Art Stamp in black and coloured in the roses with Melon Mambo and Old Olive then sponged around the edges with Pistachio Pudding. Cut it out with the matching Labels Collection Framelit.
The banner part in the middle was stamped on Gingham Garden dsp in black and then cut out and stuck on.
I used a label Chalk Talk Stamp and matching framelit and placed the Hello Lovely from the Hello Lovely Stamp Set in the centre. Cut out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch. I stamped both of these in Melon Mambo.
The "sweet friend" stamp is actually the bottom half of a stamp from the Hexagon Stamp Set that says "hello sweet friend". I just stamped it several times and cut it off below the "hello".
The three random diamantes at the top are covering a black ink mark that appeared literally as I finished the card!! sigh...!
So there it is a very Pink and girly card.
And here is my desk! I think I was working in a 6 inch space by the end of it! LOL!
Thanks for stopping by. Come back again soon. Vx

It is very frilly, flowery and pink! With plenty of bling.

A very lovely pink and girly creation Vicki - I'm sure your friend will love it! The sweet friend banner is very sweet and delicate - love how you highlighted it with rhinestones. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Vicki! I really like how you've used the Apothecary Art stamped image beneath the Chalk Talk label. Clever use of the sentiment stamp, too. Thank you for playing along with us at Just Add Ink this week!
ReplyDeleteI love all the elements on this card. Very pretty card and very pretty colours. Chantell JAI
ReplyDeleteVicki this is just lovely! Your sweet pink gingham and Pistachio scalloped border makes a very pretty mix. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, your desk looks just like mine does sometimes! I love the layering on your card and the impact of the narrow black strip through the middle. Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink.
ReplyDeletelol. Great card and this is pretty much how my desk/room looks like when I finished a project. Then I have to clean up before I can start another one and find anything. Why is why I have not done much lately... So great to see you posting. Have a good day!.
