Good Morning everyone
I was inspired by this challenge colour combo of Yellow & Pink over at color hues challenge
To start with I coloured A4 white cardstock - 1 with yellow brusho powder, 1 with bubblegum pink dylusions shimmer spray and 1 sheet with a mix of the two colours and left to dry over night while i thought about what i would create.
I made 2 cards the same just reversed the colours
DL (8x4") White linen cardblank, I lightly inked the edges with picked raspberry & sqeeshed lemonade distress inks. I die cut a smaller panel from white linen card and a stitched edge die and adhered to the card front.
I die cut a large leafy swirl from the pink card, a flower from the yellow and the sentiment from the sheet which i sprayed both colours onto. I matted the sentiment onto white card. To make the flower bigger and stand out clearly behind the sentiment i cut it in half and did the same with the leafy flourish so i could make it longer - the gaps are hidden behind the sentiment. This meant i could also slightly tweak the angle of the foliage to fit the DL shape better.
I did cut some smaller flowers from the yellow card and adhered with some pink gem centres. I then added a few yellow enamel dots to finish which give the feel of flower buds.
Just a close up, sadly the amazing shimmer of the pink spray doesn't show up in the photos.
and version 2
Ive just made this one the other way around. A few more pink gem flower buds on this one as the gems were alot smaller than the yellow enamel dots i used on the first one.
We finally have had a bit of sunshine this week so hopefully winter is soon a distant memory and we get some warmer sunnier days!

This is so pretty in shades on pink and yellow! Thanks for sharing with us at MTTC :)
Beautiful design end great attention to details! Everything works so well together! I'm sure that the shimmer is fabulous IRL and love the idea of splitting the flowers to make the focal point bigger!
So pretty and delicate Emma.

Who doesn't love a twofer! The colours work really well in both cards, especially the background and sentiments. Thanks for being inspired by the Color Hues colours. :)
