Just a quick post tonight with a super fast card for The Dynamic Duos and Create with Connie and Mary. Here are the color combinations and the sketch I used:
And here is the finished card:
This is probably one of the quickest cards I ever made. As soon as I saw the sketch I kind of knew what I wanted in my head. The hard part was finding DSP to go with the color scheme....I found some retired SU DSP (don't even know the name of it) in a green and pink that are very close to those colors.
I have been wanting to use the Quintessential Flower Stamp set again, and this sketch was perfect for it! I LOVE how many times you can layer this stamp and the versatility it gives! It will be used many times!
I really like how the ribbon edging with the knot turned out, I had that in my head and Im actually surprised it turned out so good :-).
Supplies used (all SU unless noted):
Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White Card Stock
Pink Pirouette 1 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (retired)
Certainly Celery 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon
I dont have the subtles ink pads, so I improvised: Gable Green, Green Galore, Pixie Pink, Cameo Coral and Regal Rose ink pads.
Soft Subtles Brads
Scallop Edge Border and Eyelet Border Punches
Ginger Blossom, Bali Breeze DSP (browsed some old catalogues and found the names of the papers I used :-) ) (retired)
The middle layer with the green and pink flower is from the scrap pile :-)
Hope you like this card,
Hugs,
Renate
