Over at the Pan Pastel Blog the challenge is all about PINK. Now those of you who know me know i really don’t like pink but recently had a breakthrough when i realised i could craft with it just not wear it or have it in my surroundings.
Have been catching up on my DLP pages, week 29 task was to make a wish list. Here is mine:
Used a Project Life card to create my wish list on, you can see the dots in the frame behind the pink flowers, created this using CAP2.
Went over the page background with a light coat of Magenta Pan Pastel over the base coat of Blush Fresco Finish paint from Paper Artsy, over stamped she script with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink pad, and then dusted down and sealed.
On the card i stencilled the flowers from a Paper Artsy Lin Brown collection stencil using the Snowflake Fresco mixed with Magenta Pan Pastel, dried this off then over stencilled the dots from the same stencil and went round the edge of the card with the Magenta Pan Pastel again to add depth. Added some sparkly pink dots to add a little bling to the flower heads.
Twinkie from Stampotique was coloured using Pan Pastels and with a cotton wool ear bud. His wings are made from Grungeboard, cut from a Paper Artsy Moth Die and stamped with the matching stamp. He looks very cool with wings doesn’t he!
Went round the card with both Uni Pin black pen and a white Uniball Signo pen, made an error so added a couple of little doodles.
Added the wishes to the card and the title and OH YEAH to the bottom of the page, this comes from Despicable Me, my OH finds it hilarious so this bit is for him lol.
The wish list is something to achieve in the next year, i have my fingers crossed!
Hope you like the macro shot of Twinkie in Pink with wings.
Hope you get chance to leave a comment so i know you have dropped by.

Well I have to admit that I can't see any pink on this page at all, it looks a purpley lilac to me, so now wonder you all rib me about pink when I've used red - lol

ReplyDeleteHope all your wishes come true mate.

Pink is not my favourite colour either but I'm not afraid to use it... I have been surrounded with the stuff this week as I made 2 entries for the challenge! I Love the stencilled (and jewelled bits) and the humour that this card exudes. OK Twinkie's not my cup of tea, but I can see the attraction!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to record those wishes and I love the pink, you did a great job here.
