"Hello everybody and happy Wednesday to you. I am hosting today's Challenge and I would like you to use pink and orange in your background. Now my mother used to tell me that orange and pink don't go together but because I am a rebel, I think they do!!! So I would like you to use pink and orange in the background of your project. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Happy crafting."I started with a white card blank, a brayer, and two acrylic paints...yep, orange and pink! I then raided my scraps drawer and found a small piece of patterned paper in the same colors. I used another scrap of pink to mat the patterned paper, then stamped Spidergrass using black archival ink. Next came rub-on letters to add the sentiment. Here's the card I created:
I hope you will get crafty and create something for this great challenge! You can get all the details and rules, then submit your artwork here. Why not grab a chance to win one of the two $30 gift certificates randomly awarded at the end of the month?
Thanks for visiting today!
Cheers!
Looking good Kay, embrace the pink!!

This is beautiful Kay, I would have thought that you were totally at home with these colours. Spidergrass looks wonderful in it's flowery background xx
ReplyDeleteWell, I never used to be a fan of pink (and politically I'm still opposed to the pinkification of little girls), and orange was always my least favourite colour... but since I started crafting I've discovered that when you put the two of them together, magic happens! And that's certainly the case with your card - I love the bold funky look of the brayered background and the stamping looks so cool against it. (Your blog background could also enter the challenge this week!).
