Thinking of pink

Thinking of pink

I wanted to use my new LOTV stamp and thought it would be perfect for beautiful inspiration picture for the CR84fun colour challenge and for the Stamptacular Sunday sketch (see end of post).

So this is my card

I designed the papers on the computer using the colours from the inspiration photo but also using the themes from the photo (flowers, swirls and stripes). The papers don’t show up too well here but the backing paper is light with a light pink flourish pattern, the horizontal is pink flowers on white and the vertical is black, white and pink stripe.
The edges of the card were coloured with pink alcohol ink and perfect pearrlised!

I chose my LOTV stamp as she is holding flowers and also used a LOTV sentiment. I decided to only use shades of pink to colour her and I created the background and sentiment background using distress ink and perfect pearls.

I used this a Stelje digi and made the papers on my computer for the wonderful layout sketch I used from sketchy colours.

 The glitter is Icy stickles.

I used mirror mosaic, glossy accents and perfect pearls for the embellishment. The edges of the card were coloured using alcohol ink and then I used perfect pearls.

I thought I’d have a go at colouring my penguin digi in non-traditional colours to go with papers I made inspired by the song ‘Let It Snow’.

The photo isn’t great but my camera ran out of battery after taking this so it will have to do! The let it snow papers have been sprayed with sparkle. They are also on foam pads as is the penguin so this isn’t as flat as it looks!! The blue circle was sprinkled with gitter and flowersoft. The penguin was coloured with Promarkers and I used stickles on the snow.

As it is Thanksgiving time I thought I would make a thank you card. My colours and papers were inspired by the amazing picture at the end of this post and I decided to work to a challenge sketch (also at the end of the post).

The ribbon reel challenge photo inspired me to design papers in these colours and to use a cute digi with a flower and butterflys and swirls (like butterfly wing patterns). I added gemstones to the papers.  I had to flip the sentiment to the other side from the sketch so you could see butterflies on the paper.

On my cute image I coloured with Promarkers. I used stickles to highlight the flower and glossy accents to give him a shiny nose. I used blue perfect pearls on my rabbit. I used alcohol inks and glimmer mist dabbed onto the background.

I used this wonderful inspiration picture for this card.

This gave me tons of ideas and I came up with this card.

I used the colour picker on Craft Artist to match my paper colours to the inspiration picture and used ideas from it for the papers.

The central paper is stripes to match the tablecolth and I made it and added the frames and sentiment in Craft Artist. I used a LOTV die cut and recoloured it with Promarkers to match the inspiration photo colours. I used tattered rose distress ink inside the frames and around the die cut. I coloured clear gems with Promarker for the cake cherries.

The ribbon paper with cupcakes was made on the computer. The next layer down was made to look like petal wallpaper like the wall in the picture. The background paper was also made on computer and features cupcakes. I coloured some more gems for the backing paper to add some zing!

Not sure what I think of this attempt!

Not the best photo! I coloured my penguin digi with Promarkers and used flower soft to get fluffy feathers! I also used flowersoft and coloured it with glitter to make my coloured snow, colouring behind it with Promarkers and using stickles for the falling snow. The digi papers were made on computer with Craft Artist. I used my snowflake punches and a LOTV Let it snow sentiment.

This card is for an inspirational lady who has been battling cancer.

I colour matched and printed my papers. I used a LOTV die cut on some dark blue shiny card from stash and I used a MS butterfly punch for rhe top.

I printed matched paper for the back of the card. I used Craft Artist to make the paper with a lace and flower frame and added a white frame in the centre to write my message on.


This is the card base. I typed and printed my sentiment “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves”. I layered fabric flowers, placed flower pins through the middle and bent them round before attching them to the card.

I decided to focus on the image by using all the colours I wanted there and kept to purple and black for the papers.

I designed the papers on the computer and printed them out. I blended distress ink around the edge of the card and on the card for the sentiment.

The sentiment is LOTV and I stamped that and a Forever Friends frame using purple ink.

Another card featuring my new Autumn Happiness digi. The colours are from gorgeous inspiration photos (see below).

I blended purple distress ink round the outside of the card and on the sentiment card. I ripped the textured purple paper layer. I made the leaf with orange cross stitch layer using Craft Artist on my computer and then used green distress ink blotted around the outside with a sponge.

I coloured my digi with Promarkers. I stamped my LOTV sentiment using purple ink onto my purple distressed card.
