Hello! I hope you are doing well. So happy you stopped by to check out my post for the fortnightly Creative Card Crew challenge. We have a color challenge for you today - one of my favorite color combintations - pink and green. I chose this charming garden gate digital image from Isabella's Sketchbook and matched it up with green gingham and some beautiful Melissa Francis DP (which is almost entirely covered up). The image was colored with Copics and the sentiment added with my photo editing software. It was sponged with Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery. The two top panels were cut with a Spellbinder's die and the gingham one was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I made the pink rolled flower and stuck an SU crystal brad in the center. The leaf was cut with a Sizzix die and a bit of Stickles was added for a bit of sparkle. A pretty straight forward card, but if you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments or email me personally.
Hope to see you over at the Creative Card Crew blog with a pink and green creation sometime in the next fortnight.
Thanks so much for stopping by today and for the sweet comments!
Just a note here: A reader asked if I do my stitching by hand or machine. This is all machine stitching and 99% of all my stitching is by machine. Once in a great while, I will add a bit of hand stitching for a special effect. Thanks for your interest!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Pink and green is one of my favorite combos as well and I used to make a lot of cards using that ... sitting here now and puzzling why I haven't really done it lately.

A response to Pinkie's question regarding stitching - 99% of the time it's machine stitching. Once in a great while, for special effect, I will do some hand stitching.
