AWH October Blog Hop: Pink

Hi!

Tonight the Art With Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring the colour pink. We hope our Blog Hop inspires you to get creative with the various shades of pink that Stampin’ Up! offer in our collection of 53 colours. 


Now, I must admit that when Ros first gave us the pink theme, my mind jumped straight to the entertainer, P!NK. I went to one of her concerts back in July and hadn't scrapped the experience yet, so I thought why not?

I chose Berry Burst for my colour pink, and complimented it with Basic Black and Silver Glimmer Paper. It's such a fun combo, and what else for an awesome entertainer such as P!NK? To create the title I cut each letter with my Large Letters dies and then simply trimmed of the serifs on each letter. The serifs are the little 'flicks' at the ends of the letters. It changes the look of the font quite a lot! Here's a tip: to adhere the photos and letters over the Glimmer paper, it is best to use a liquid glue as it grips better to the uneven surface of the glitter.

I had fun making the splatters on the page. I started by stamping the splatters from Swirly Bird in Memento ink. It was good, but not quite the right look. I got out my Silver Embossing Paste, and using my Aqua Painter, I flicked it over the top. Much better!

To get the spacing right on my text, I wrote it out on a piece of scrap paper, but starting at the bottom of the page and going up. By doing this, I knew where to start my top line so that my writing was perfectly spaced.

Did you notice the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon at the top of the photo section? I couldn't resist adding a piece of my favourite ribbon, especially when it has the important purpose of hiding my ticket and a piece of the confetti that fluttered down during the concert. I made a little pocket for them  under the panel so I could keep the photos and ticket together, but keep the ticket hidden.

Well, that's it from me, you're now off to the next participant, the very talented Ros Davidson.
