Reminder Post for The Flower Challenge Blog #48 Colour Brown & Pink

 

So its time for the reminder card for the challenge using Brown & Pink.

Again I have gone with pink for the flowers and brown for the leaves and vines.

This is another image from Bugaboo, I fell in love with this image the minute I saw it. I lightened the image in Photoshop this time and decided to make it long enough to use in a slimline card design.

You are looking at my first attempt at a slimline card. I have purchased a couple of different dies from a few companies trying to find ones that included different sized rectangles which is what I have used here. I loved that I could cut the rectangle full or the outline which is what I did with the pink layer.

The largest cut, the pink and white layer I have found that I cannot get a clean cut with my Big Shot because of the slight curve at the tops of the plates so I need to cut most of it, then take out of the Big Shot and move forward so the end will cut properly. I assume there are bigger (longer) plates that I can purchase but as I just bought 3 sets of plates on special I will make do. I do think it is disappointing the companies have done this as its expensive enough keeping up with the Joneses crafting wise anyway.

 

Anyway back to my card and this wonderful image. I coloured with copics this time going for very light pinks in the RV range. I can see myself using this image quite a bit more, makes me think of lace and delicate embroidery.

Finished off with a silver glitter diecut 'Happy Birthday.
