Pink and Brown doesn't make me 'Frown'

The New Challenge over at Color Hues 

is to use Pink and Brown.

I love these two colours together so thought

I would play along. 

I got out the retired SU stamp set - 

Heartfelt Blooms inking it with

VersaFine Clair Fallen Leaves 

as I knew it would ink up well.

(It  is a very dark brown)

I wanted a bit of sheen so heat embossed with

Ranger Frosted Crystal. I then added

some pink colour to the flowers

then some clear rock candy crackle paint for shine.

Flower centre is raised and coloured brown.

Background was stenciled with

ARTplorations Nested Circles

with pink and brown inks.

Cut my floral image with

Uniquely Creative

Cross Stitch Nesting Arch die

and sponged around the edges.

Sentiment is from Altenew.

Added pink ribbon and a bow

and popped onto pink card base.

Unfortunately my card didn't photograph well

and does look better IRL. 

Thanks for dropping in

See you again soon.

A Quick Post for the Color Hues Challenge

 Just adding this quick post for the Colour Hues Challenge

I saw Nancy's Reminder this morning and

as I had a wee bit of time up my sleeve I thought

I would make a quick card as I love using Kraft Paper.

Because time was running out I decided to

use an old SU favourite just using the dies

from the Botanical Blooms Set.

Added some splatters from Tim's Speckles Stencil

with the specified colours.

The leaves were cut from kraft paper,

flowers inked/smooched with Nuvo Shimmer Powder.

Sentiment from STAMPlorations.

Finished with twine and pearls and

adhered to kraft card base. 

That stamp/die set makes for such an easy

and quick make as it was here.

So glad I finally got time to play with my 

good friend Nancy's Challenge.

Such a relaxing afternoon with the AC on

(so hot here today and will be for a few days to come)

Thanks for popping in
