Pink And A N Other, GDT At In The Pink

Hi my lovelies, time for my second and last GDT post for In The Pink Challenges, I've had a lovely time, Christine is one of the friendliest people I've come across in blogland, thank you for having me ladies.

This challenge we want to see your cards with pink (obviously) and one other predominant colour.

Here's my first card,

I've used pink and brown, I love this colour combo. I've coloured Tilda With Christmas Cracker with my distress markers, and I've added sparkle with Gold Glamour Dust. The papers are Pion Designs Silent Night, and the edges have been distressed with Walnut Stain.

The roses are from WOC, the Cream Rolled Roses, Cream Chrysanthemums, Crystal Drops, Cream Pearl String, Ash Rose Shabby Seam Binding, Bubble Gum Tulle Pleat Trim, Cream Melissa Frances Pearls and the Snowflake Charm are all from Live & Love Crafts.

For my second card I've teamed Pink with Grey, another colour combo I think go great together. This is another card that I've been asked to make for a lady turning 60, I didn't want a little girl on and going through my stamps I found The Potting Shed from LOTV, I don't know why I've not inked this up before, it is just soooo cute. I'll be inking up the other ones with these mice on soon, I can tell you.

I've coloured the image in with my distress markers and added Glamour Dust. The roses, aster and sweetheart blossom are all from WOC, the Rolled Pink Paper Rose, Pearl and Organza Pink Looped Trim are all from the Ribbon Girl. I've used an Idea-ology Ornate Plate from Live & Love Crafts.

So indulge in the guilty pleasure that is 'Pink', and this fortnight if you've teamed it up with another colour then that's what we want to see at In The Pink Challenges.

Hugs,

GDT at In The Pink

Hi my lovelies, a few weeks ago now I got an e-mail asking me to be the first GDT at In The Pink and of course my answer was yes please. Pink is my guilty pleasure, and I was pleased as punch to have been picked in the top 6 for the first challenge, and this is the icing on the cake. Regular readers will know that I'm coming back off my holidays today, but I amazed even me at how quickly I got these two cards done. I'd like to enter both of these cards into the Emboss Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.

The theme is 'Embossing, Wet or Dry'.

I was asked to make a card for a friends niece's christening, and was asked for pink and girlie, so I took this as the perfect opportunity to make her card. The papers are from Raspberry Road, the edges have all been distressed and machine sewn. I've used a swirl embossing folder and then slightly sanded it, just to bring the background colour through.

The sentiment has been computer generated, the flowers are from WOC and the swirl is from here. The image is from LOTV, this is my most favourite Christening iamge, I've used to loads, I've coloured it with my distress markers and added Glamour Dust.

Here's the second card, as I was making the christening card this idea popped into my head. I've coloured Ice Tilda with my distress markers. I don't have the right size nestie to go inside this floral oval, so I cut the out the full thing and then cut round the dots and then used a snowflake embossing folder. I carefully stuck Tilda out and stuck her on and then added Glamour Dust on the snowflakes so they sparkle.

The Ivory Lace Pearl Trim, Rose Pink Silky Crush Ribbon, Top Stitch Thread, Pearls and Chrysanths are all from The Ribbon Girl.

Hugs,
