For someone who's not a "pink girl" I used quite a bit of it on this card, didn't I? I inked up a Cuttlebug embossing folder with some Stampin' Up! pink pirouette ink, then placed a panel of white card stock in it before embossing. I like the letterpress look that it gives the panel! That little crocheted flower is from SU also (discontinued), but I added a few faux stamens to the center before gluing it to the pieces of tulle. I think the rest of the card is self explanatory, but I'll list my supplies below.
By the way...the next card I'll be posting has some pink in it, too. I guess I'm hooked :)
Thanks so much for taking a look! I'll be putting this card in my Etsy shop later today (there's a link in the upper sidebar of my blog.) If you're reading this post from an email, you'll need to go to the bottom of the email to find the name of my blog. Just click through...and there you are!
Supplies:
card stock: pool party, whisper white (Stampin' Up!)
ink: pink pirouette, early espresso (SU)
stamps: lovely leaves, communique curves (Papertrey Ink)
other: pink crocheted flower (SU), damask embossing folder (Cuttlebug), floral spray flower centers (Hirschberg), adhesive pearl flourish (Recollections from Michaels), pink tulle (from a stash I won on Vicki Chrisman's blog last year), scor-tape, glue dots
Soooo pretty! Love the letterpress look on the bg and the texture of the tulle and crocheted flower!
