THINK PINK

Hi Stampers,
Welcome to my blog.
At last Friday's meeting, my downline accurately noted that I tend toward greens and blues in my card making and that pink is woefully lacking on the display boards in my craft room. Thus, they issued a challenge that I create at least one pink card - especially Melon Mambo paired with Wild Wasabi.  Wait! That's a green! 

But I am to please.  So expect to see lots of pink in varying degrees and shades this week's shares.  Today's are two examples of the same card, for the Melon Mambo/ Wild Wasabi challenge:

For both I also used the Lacy & Lovely stamp set as well as the Fancy Fan textured impressions folder and my handy-dandy Big Shot.  Both also use Subtles 3/16" brads and 3/8" Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon.  Each card evokes a different feeling. Which one do you like better?

Did you know that our Whisper White ribbons are easily dyed to match the colors of your project?  My favorite method is to load up my brayer with my ink color of choice (here Melon Mambo), and roll over and over again on my ribbon cut to size, until I get the depth of color I desire.  Really adds to the versatility and usefulness of my ribbons.

 Thanks for dropping by.  For more great ideas, be sure to check the projects page on my website.

Pinkily yours.
