color inspiration 38




Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY!! I am so ready for the weekend - we've been so busy, and sick, busy this week and I'm ready for a rest. It's time for Kristina's color inspiration and this week she's chosen Ruby Red, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty In Pink and Whisper White. I would have never thought to put these colors together, but I love the way they work! For this card, I stamped my own background using the heart and sparkle images from Sweet Shapes (retired). I haven't used this set in a LONG time, but I love it still. I also used chipboard letters from Loads Of Letters and glued Pretty In Pink cardstock to the front of each letter and then filed the edges to smooth them out. I bought a set of 6 precision files from Basic Grey that are (in my opinion) a must have for chipboard. You can really get in the little grooves and crannies of the chipboard. The Pumpkin Pie heart is cut from the Sizzlits die template, Hearts Set.

That's it for today - don't forget to enter the drawing for my blogoversary candy!

  6. What a cute card! My first card for the challenge was a Valentine's card too, but it didn't work AT ALL! Yours is great, Karen :)

  7. I absolutely adore this card! It's kind of ironic how Kristina used the word "love" and a heart on her finally Friday- ironic! Thanks for sharing.

  9. Extremely cute card, Karen! I try not to look at anyone's Kristina card before I create my own, but I couldn't help myself. I've got to get downstairs and get to work on mine before the deadline passes.
