Timeless Tuesday Pink-A-Licious


Good morning and welcome to another fun filled Timeless Tuesday challenge! This weeks hostess is Silke and she is asking us to create a card or project featuring the color: Pink!

I love pink and it wasn't too hard for me to go crazy with the pink everywhere - LOL :) 
Growing up, I hated pink. In my teen years my mom painted my room pink, but I never loved it. But what color was picked as the main color at my wedding? Pink. And now what color is my scrapping space, scraproom - PINK! :) See the gradual progression of my love of pink? There are various shades and uses for pink, and I think deep down most of us love pink, even if we don't know it ;)



So for my card, I used Flourishes "Magnolias" that I colored in with "Victorian Velvet", "Worn Lipstick", "Fired Brick", "Forrest Moss" and "Peeled Paint" Distress Inks. I cut out the flowers with my craft knife and popped it up on popdots. I used Flourishes "Love and Lace" lace frame under my Magnolias, and sponged it with "Victorian Velvet" Distress Ink. I used Flourishes "Scalloped Lace Trim", tied a May Arts "Champagne" ribbon over it, then placed a hatpin and button on to finish my card.

Please visit the rest of the team to gather more Flourishes inspirations.
