Lovely Pink Orchids...

Hiya!

It's time for another ColourQ challenge and this week there is a very pretty combo for us to play with...


Seeing as today marks the beginning of both the Sale-a-Bration promotion and the FAB Spring/Summer catalogue, I have combined things from both for my card...


I used the Happy Watercolour set from the Spring/Summer catty for the beautiful orchids, stamping them on Whisper White core'dinations card with stazon and colouring with Primrose Petals and Pink Pirouette inks and a blender pen. The sentiment is from my favourite SAB set called You're Lovely, stamped once on Primrose Petals card and die-cut with the matching deco labels framelit, then again on Whisper White and punched with the 1 3/4" circle punch. The background is Crumb Cake card, stamped with the border stamp from You're Lovely with Crumb Cake ink, then overlaid with the swirl stamp from Everything Eleanor with white ink. I added a couple of butterflies and some candy dots to finish.

I used this week's sketch from Create with Connie & Mary (rotated) for my layout...


Here's the recipe:
Stamps: You're Lovely, Happy Watercolour, Everything Eleanor, Papillon Potpourri
Ink: Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Stazon
Paper: Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals, Whisper White, Blushing Bride
Accessories: Subtles candy dots
Tools: Ovals framelits, Deco Labels framelits, 1 3/4" circle punch, Bitty Butterfly punch, Pennant framelits

Thanks for stopping by...
