Mix It Up With Pink Suede
Posted by Deena on September 16, 2009
Hi everyone!!
I’m so excited to tell you that my black and white Flourishes card from a previous POST was published in the new Paper Maniac Tuesday Tidings Newsletter! And ohmygosh!! As I’m writing this post I just went over to their challenge site to link it up here and I have found that I am the random pick winner of their first ever challenge!!! Wow!! Hmmm….Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket…
If you haven’t been to Paper Maniac’s fabulous new online shop you have to have a look! I was really impressed with the variety of stamps and paper lines they carry.
I made today’s card for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge FTTC33 which this week is to MIX IT UP! I also used the colors for the CC at Splitcoaststampers which are whisper white, soft suede and pretty in pink.
I mixed things up by using the argyle embossing folder for texture and pairing it up with this Basic Grey Sugared dp. I also colored outside of the lines for this image! How fun is that? Flourishes September Limelight Designer Michelle Giraud showed her technique for “outside of the lines” coloring in Week 2’s post. I stamped the bleeding hearts in Close to Cocoa ink (SU!) then used copics R20, E00, and E11 to shade around them. I love the soft definition that it gives the image! What do you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! You know I love your company!!

OH, this is SO pretty! To begin with, the stamp you used is a fav of mine, but I love how you colored outside the lines! It gives a very soft finished look! Great card for the challenge!
