Our challenge for the next two weeks at Try It On Tuesday is called 'Make it Feminine'.
I love this Altenew Peony embossing folder and have used it lots!
This time I swiped over the flowers with two different colours of Versamagic Chalk inks - Pixie Dust and Pink Grapefruit before sponging a little pale green onto the leaves.
I then sat and fussy cut it! Two thirds of the way through I was beginning to be sorry I started - at least the funny thumb was - so I was glad when I finally finished!
I mixed the Pink Grapefruit ink with a little water and spattered the base card, popped the fussy cut panel onto it with 3D foam pads.
Finished with a simple sentiment.
Thanks for looking - hope you will visit the TIOT blog and have a look at the rest of the DT's makes and as always hope that you will join us for this challenge!
Have a great day whatever you're doing. x

ReplyDeleteViv this is such a beautiful card. I love it. I would never have thought to go with pink either, but it is really the most feminine of colors, isn't it? Hope all is well. hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteThe embossed roses look beautiful Viv. It must have took ages to fussy cut a rose and I love the soft colours.
