Hello from snowy Western Washington! Thankfully in the lower Puget Sound area where I live there isn't a lot of it. Rain is set to return soon. That is the PNW! I have a card today for a few challenges: Color Hues/Inkspirational collaboration challenge and Pinkfresh Studio February challenge. Let's have a look at what I made.
Then I got started on the second part of my card and this is where the Pinkfresh Studio challenge comes in. They recently changed their monthly challenge to anything goes, but they will still have colors and a theme that you can use on your project. The theme this month is Transparent Treasures so I decided to use some thick vellum combined with touches of the pink and red cardstock for my cherry blossom branch from Pinkfresh Studio. As I was working on the cherry blossom branch, I wasn't sure if it would work, but once I had it completed, I was really pleased with the look. That branch was adhered using glue and then I finished with the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp EZ Strips Birthday stamp and die set.
That's it for me. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
What a beautiful design with your new stitched edge die cuts, Rosemary and beautiful vellum die cut blooms laid over them! The vellum adds such delicacy to the stems. Thank you for joining us in the joint Inkspirational/Color Hues Red/Pink Challenge! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Rosemary and that Greta she is a sweetheart. Love the use of vellum on this card as it softens the bold pattern background. So happy you played along with our collaboration at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteClearly the brackets were meant for you, my friend! Absolutely love this sweet card which I'd say is a winner! No snow at our house, but boy is it stormy now! Too dark at 1pm to get card pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreta is a gem and so sweet of her to offer you the bracket dies, which you've showcased beautifully in red and pink. The delicate blooms are perfect additions to the pretty stage! Thank you so much for sharing this in the Colour Hues + Inkspiration collaboration galleries.
