It's a Pink Thing!

The theme for this weeks show of cards from the Christmas Card Club Girls is to use Non - Traditional colours which was right up my street to use these pretty prints from a Paper pad set by The Paper Boutique 'A Whisper of Winter'. The main colours being pink, brown, cream and pale blue. I pulled out a selection of die cut sentiments and die cutting frames to use  along with Buff, Chocolate and Steel Blue cardstock and got started. I have managed to make 5 cards to swell my growing pile of Cards.  Again I had to wait until this morning in order to take the photos which were all done in the summer house  on the pink table and against the pine wood cladding.

First card.

Using a die cut frame by First Edition Crafts FEDIE012 and a sentiment die by Tonic 'Wave Merry Christmas' 

Second Card.

Uses the same die cut frame but this time I have kept the card I cut it from and dropped the die cut down to the bottom to give the interesting drop shadow effect. The sentiment is again by Tonic which I die cut in brown and steel blue and layered slightly off one another. I then added the two srtrips of gold edging to finish. 

Third Card.

This card is using a frame that was left from using another die cut which I haven't as yet used the inset for but I thought it made an interesting overlay to place a different design from the same set underneath it. The sentiment is a die cut by Creative Expressions CED3046.

Fourth Card.

This was actually the first card made but I didn't photograph them  in sequence. An easel card using a die frame by Crafts - Too 'Scalloped Edge'  PCD77 and a sentiment by Tonic.  The bow was an after thought as the scrap of ribbon (waste not want not)  was left over from making the last card below. 

Fifth Card.

My most favorite of them all with its abundant pink roses and using the burgundy ribbon which was out on my desk from being one of  the shoulder tabs on a jumper I had just bought (on line) and cut off. 

Sentiment was the remains of a  silver peel off after using the actual wording on a previous project. I really do use up everything in sight. I have die cut the same design paper out twice in different sizes using the Crafts - Too die set above and layered up very slightly off centre. 

I'm off to sit in the Summer house now with a coffee and attempt to catch up with your blogs.
