Tee hee :)
My card today is definitely wearing pink.
I really haven't done a whole lot with Flirty Flamingo...it's not that I dislike the color, I just can't quite figure out what to pair it with. However, I do rather like it here with Pool Party and Wild Wasabi. I didn't have DSP in colors and patterns that I wanted to use with my fussy-cut flower (because I stamped that before I figured out what I wanted to do with the rest of the card), so I just cut some panels out of Thick Whisper White and then I dragged an inked up sponge across until I liked the effect. I did a bit of extra sponging at the edges, and then I stamped a repeating design on each one--a fleur de lis from Timeless Textures on the Pool Party panel, and the fern stamp from Painted Harvest on the Wild Wasabi panel. I do like how those turned out. Also, no sentiment on this card...when I want to send it, I can always stamp whatever I need on the inside. So this card could be for a birthday or thank you or thinking of you or anything really. Except a masculine card. It's not at all dude-like.
So anyway, I started my card with a pink flower because of the challenge at
Fusion:
I used the sketch and the inspiration pic gave me my pink starting point for the flower, though I do love tea and teacups :)
But the flowers also worked well with the challenge at
Cupcake Inspirations:
Also pink :) I did stamp another flower with Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum together, which I liked, but for this card I just wanted to go with the pink by itself. So we'll see if I bust out that other flower somewhere else.
Cheers, y'all!
