This week I have a lovely bright Christmas card to share with you featuring one of the new In Colours Polished Pink.
After recently seeing some cards that my lovely upline, Christine Blain created it encouraged me to purchase the lovely Word Of Cheer bundle.
My starting point for this card was the lovely DSP from the Whimsy and Wonder pack. It features Mossy Meadow and Polished Pink, so I used those colours in Stampin Blends to colour the lovelyspray of flowers and leaves. I've then die cut this using the coordinateing die and mounted it on a piece of Shimmer paper that has been cut using one of the Ornate frames dies. I've also added a couple of sprigs cut from the Be Dazzling freebie paper that you can earn during Saleabration.
The sentiment is also from the Words of Cheer stamp set and has been stamped in Mossy Meadow and then die cut using one of the shapes in the Many Messages die. It turned out to be the perfect fit for the sentiment. Oh did I mention the the background DSP has been embossed using the Tasteful Textile folder just to, I think soften the paper somewhat.
All in all it's quite a bright card with the use of Polished Pink which is a very bright pink but I do actually have someone in mid for this, one of my lovely nieces who adores pink and bright pink in particular.

Love this Theresa! Polished Pink looks great for these flowers. Yes it's bright, but it's beautifully balanced.
ReplyDeleteThis is an unlikely colour combination, that just works so well! I love those bright pink poinsettias, and how well the Mossy Meadow leaves complement them. The die-cut image sits beautifully on the Ornate Layers frame, T - great idea. Isn't the Messages Die awesome for cropping sentiments? It's a favourite of mine. So glad I helped you decide to buy this bundle. :) Love what you've done with it!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Theresa, your colour combo is beautiful and the added bit of sparkle lovely
