Pink and green is one of my favourite colour combinations and that's what I've used here:
I needed to make a special birthday card so I picked out one of my favourite flower stamps. Two stamps in fact from an Ultimate Crafts set. One is a single flower and one is a spray so you can cut them out to give different looks.
I stamped in black and then coloured in Picked Raspberry and Mowed Lawn. Putting a little ink on an acrylic block and painting with water. Then cut them all out and arranged round the edge. I'm sure I've done something similar before but hey, if it works!
I also stamped in grey ink around the edge of the green backing to give some extra interest.
I added some pearls in the flower centres and a tiny bit of Pearl Effects on the other flowers, risky as the card was finished by then but I got away with it!
I'm pleased with this sweet look and love the colours.
Having used and old faithful stamp I can join in with Stamping Sensations - Favourite Stamps.
Also I've used snippets so I can call into Pixie's Snippets Playground and show off. As always we are encouraged to use up our snippet mountain. I have in fact, organised mine so I can now find what I need and it takes up less room. I threw out a tiny amount but not much of course. :)
The Allsorts Challenge this time is 'Say it with flowers' so that seems appropriate for this card.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
