Touches of pink

I seem to go in phases but todays post shows off touches of pink!

This is my Card Positioning Systems sketch card for this week. I will work with a sketch for almost every card that I create because of the direction a sketch gives to a creation.

I am so excited to share the little details on my card!

The cute, pink, kitty cat is from a Digital set at 2 Peas in a Bucket. I loved this set from the first time I saw it. I don't really do much with actual digital techniques but I really do enjoy using the elements and working with them in a hybrid fashion. Hybrid just means that you are using the computer for some portion of your work, mixing that with real papers and glue. The kitty is from the digital kit and so is the dot patterned paper. I just printed both out on the Cyrogen Curious Iridescent cardstock. I LOVE using this white cardstock. It is perfect for using with Copic makers and it has a slight sparkle to the paper and that shows through with whatever you do with it. I order mine from CutCardStock.com.

Plus, even more goodness is that cute Bingo card. This is a FREE download from MyGrafico.com. It is by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. The download actually contains several different bingo cards. I just opened it in a Word program, all of the bingo cards are available at once and I printed them all out on the same Curious Iridescent cardstock. I cut out the BABY one for this card. The letters for BABY were colored with Copic markers and then I sprayed two colors of Memories Mist by Stewart Superior.

Notice the embossed cardstock? This is new from Core'dinations. The design come embossed in the cardstock and all it takes is a little sanding and the design shows off. Plus, you can see that I used one of my newest border punches.

For my other card, the CARDS blog issued a challenge to create a 3" card. Why is that hard? I really find working on a mini project to be hard or challenging and so of course, I had to play along! If you go and look at that post on the CARDS blog you will be just amazed at the creations.

This is just a 3" square card, the base of the card is a piece of Black Magic Core'dinations cardstock. I like this because the card is black, when the edges are sanded, the core color is exposed and that is a matching turquoise and an even bigger plus is the inside of the card is turquoise.

The damask stamp is stamped in turquoise and then embossed with clear embossing powder. Next I sprayed this with a couple colors of Glimmer Mist just to give some additional interest.

And a photo!

I love Daffodils. I grew up in Tacoma, WA and we had a Daffodil parade every spring. We had Daffodil princesses and Daffodils decorated the floats in the parade and so there is a whole lot of nostalgia associated when I see Daffodils plus the look of spring in the air.
