Cards in Envy Challenge: Pretty in Pink

Happy Monday and welcome to another fun challenge from Cards in Envy!  The new theme is "Pretty in Pink" and your A2 card should feature mostly pink colors and, of course, fit in an envy without big lumps and bumps :-)

I'm not usually a pastel girl, but I've been trying to be "softer" and I had found this delicious pink cardstock in my stash.  Using the stripe cover-up die from MFT, I die cut a white layer and a pink layer.  Covered the back with wide Scor-Tape, inlaid the pink cutouts in the white layer and mounted it on the same pink cardstock.  I used a Tim Holtz stencil and Delicata silver ink to create a small background and layered Sizzix Triplett Flowers, adding some silver thread and black/white polka dot leaves and sequin centers.  The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life.  So soft and girly!

 

I really hope you'll show us your pink side and join in the challenge.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  2. Annie,

    This is so very pretty! You'll have to share some tips for getting that silver thread to lay so perfectly. :)

  3. I LOVE this background. I am not a pastel gal either, but this is a FABULOUS card. I think the black makes it "a little less pastel". It's just beautiful.
