Mostly Pink and Green

Hello!

Welcome to my little crafting place! Here's where I share the things I've been making, and sometimes other bits of waffle!

This week on the Daring Cardmakers there's a volour combo challenge 

Mostly Pink and Green 

We would love to see your creations featuring mainly these two colours, 

be they soft pastels or deep and vibrant! 

Create anything you like cards, tags, or 3D project. Its up to you!

 I've used a lot of darker colours lately, so I was feeling like a change and went with lighter shades of the colourway, and I'm really pleased at how they worked.

I was playing around with wax seals last weekend - and my success rate was poor!  Its like that sometimes when you create, isn't it? Sometimes it just doesn't pan out as you'd hoped.  I managed to make 2 decent seals and even then one isn't so great.  The one I've used for this card was the only one I was really happy with.

It's the February Wax seal of the Month from Spellbinders and it has a lovely leafy design how I made it pn a separate post

 The green panel was made just by using lots of small ink pads and swooshing them around on smooth white cardstock.  It's my favourite technique for backgrounds, I like the variations in colours and how the depth of the colours changes.  Sometimes I give the inked piece a spray of water and/or move the ink around with a wet wipe.  

I've been using the Spellbinders Glimmer of the Month for February a lot (its so pretty!) and felt that its beautiful leafy sprigs design would look lovely on my green base, I chose to keep the 'lightness' going by using silver foil.  There's a die in this set that cuts the fancy edge, but OH was on a work call so rather than use my noisy die cutting machine I just cut around the leafy pattern with scissors.

I very nearly used yellow flowers for this, but with the DCM challenge in mind I went with quite a bright pink instead and I like the contrast,

The tiny flowers were made with a 'forget me not' flower die set, it's an old Spellbnders one so I can't add a link.

 I used:

  February Glimmer of the Month 

 leafy design plate and sentiment

Silver and Pink foils

February Wax seal of the Month

various shades of green and aqua ink pads

pink Nuvo mousse on thin (80gsm) white card for flowers

Forget-me-not die set

 a few pink gems
