inspired friend


Hello! It's already time for Kristina's color inspiration this week - where has the time gone?! This week's colors are whisper white, rose red, regal rose, and sage shadow. Yes, soooo out of my color comfort zone. I'm not one to play with green and pink together, but there again is the 'challenge' portion of her inspiration. I used textured white cardstock to get the feel of fabric. Not so sure about the rub-on. Maybe I should have left it off? Too late now I suppose - it will grow on me.

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you back soon -


Details -
paper: whisper white textured cardstock, regal rose cardstock (inside lining), rose red prints dsp
stamps: watercolor vine jumbo wheel
ink: sage shadow
accessories: rose red stitched grosgrain ribbon (retired), regal rose wide grosgrain ribbon, love & happiness rub-ons, corner rounder
