Hi everyone,
It's time for my IN THE PINK entry. This is a brand new fortnightly blog challenge and is hosted by two very talented ladies Christine and Sylvia (AKA Posh Priscilla and Pretty Patricia - the 2 PP's). Check out the Blog here, you'll find some great inspiration from the ladies themselves, and there's already loads of fabulous entries too. Lots of Pink lovers out there.
It's the first challenge and it's basically anything goes .... but it has to be PINK!
As you can see the dress form has come out (again!), and I've dressed her up this time in some white tulle, Tim Holtz fabric flowers from his Lavish Trim pack and the new range of Prima papers - Rondelle. This paper pad is absolutely gorgeous, there's a bit of everything in there - florals, dots, flourishes, script and it's all shades of pinks, peaches, creams, teamed up with the black. Just stunning!
Anyway, back to the card.
The background is spritzed with Distress inks - Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick with a touch of Perfect Pearls. I've used a leafy mask and inked through with Black Soot DI. I've also used the same mask on the paper, only this time I used a spatula and put white Gesso through to add a little bit of texture.
The whole thing is finsihed off with ribbon, vintage seam binding, a few gems and a large paper flower - all pink of course. The sentiments are from Tim Holtz and are stamped on pieces of the same background card.
I'm afraid if you're not a Pink lover then this card isn't for you!
While we're on the subject of Pink here's a couple of projects I did for Kay to display on the Indigo Blu stand at Donnington Park this weekend.
These are a little bit PINK too. If you want more details, and a closer look pop over to the Indigo Blu Blog, I've done a full post with details of what I've used etc., and you'll also find out what's in the box - any ideas?
Well, that's me done for today. It's back to a Christmas theme again tomorrow, I've made my first Christmas card (my own that is). It's for the Penny Black Saturday challenge, I can't Blog it today as it's not quite finished yet. Tomorrow - I promise.
Enjoy the rest of Thursday.
Thanks for popping by.
Linda

Ah, that title today made me wonder what on earth you might be showing! Glad it is a pink card, which is beautiful and I don't think it is too pink. Your makes for Kay are stunning, I have already been over there so I know what is in the box, but I won't spoil the surprise.....crafty hugs, Anne x
