In doing some blog surfing, I've come across some really great color combinations, so thought I would have a crack at one that is all over the place this week. Orange and Pink. With the exception of the Very Vanilla CS, everything is from my scrap paper bins. I think I need a big Post-It saying "USE SCRAPS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE". Those drawers can fill up rather quickly.
I grabbed a few different papers that I thought would work and but busy working. For the CS, there were 3 colors: Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie and Regal Rose. I used 2 different patterned papers: A striped and graphic dot/square combo. The cat image was calling my name and I tried my first shot at the "kissing" technique. but wanted a very subtle print, so just gently touched the two stamps together to give this little kitty some spots. Wanting to give the ribbon a little attitude, I added paw prints with a black glaze pen. I hope you enjoy the card. Listed below are the supplies I used.

Your card is very pretty. I'm not sure if its my screen or not but I cannot read what you've written. The grey against the black background put my eyes to the test (and they failed! LOL)
ReplyDeleteI agree with laos348, when you first click into your blog, it's a very dark background (I think it's the way it used to be before you changed.) After the blog loads a bit it BEAUTIFUL!

ReplyDeleteSuper cute card, Erika! :) Love the colour combo. I've seen people use pink and orange together and I've really liked their cards, too. I'm gonna have to try a fun card using these colours, too. Thanks for the inspiration! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Michelle from Paper Dolls here....I so need a huge sign to use my scraps too. I tried rearranging them yesterday coz they were annoying me so much...as you say the scrap drawer (s...in my case) fill up soooooo quickly! I even have coloured drawers and they still fill up...sigh...I should limit myself to only scraps for a month....interesting thought...would do it too only I think it would slay my mojo!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!!! tfs!!
