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!
