Welcome to another fun challenge at Colorful Options and it just so happens to be one of my favourite colours….Pink!
This month we challenge you to use pink as your inspiration. ANY shade or interpretation of pink is welcome.
Please remember that you may incorporate any neutrals or metallics you need in your design and that your make does not need to be monochromatic. If pink is not to your liking, join us with a rainbow-inspired craft.
For my card, I used the Fresh Picked Anemones dies by Spellbinders I love their latest release and have to say I went on a spending spree. The dies are quite large and fill up the space quite nicely. I used a combination of Distress Oxides in varying shades of pink to colour the blooms a touch of kraft card and some Distress Embossing Glaze on the centers and there you have it.
I loved it so much that I placed it on my desk at work next to that gorgeous plant that I don’t know the name of.
We do hope you will play along with us this month at Colorful Options, the DT has some amazing cards to delight and inspire.
I’m also playing along with Addicted to Stamps and More
