Happiness Blooms With Pineapple

Hi!


This week for the Colour Creations Blog Share we are looking at another colour that I'm not really fond of  - Pineapple Punch. It's just a bit too fluro for me! However, after using it this week I have to concede that it's not too bad after all.

I don't actually have a lot of Pineapple Punch stuff, so I decided to see what I could do with some of the cards from my Happiness Blooms Memories and More kit.

I made a gift box! The Memories & More card I used was one of the specialty cards that has a glossy design on them. In this case, the flowers are the glossy part. To make the box lid I simply scored each side at 3/4 inch and then cut, folded and glued to make the lid. The base of the box was made in a similar fashion. I did sketch it out in a notebook first to make sure I got all of the dimensions correct. Measure twice, cut once!

The tag is one of my favourites from the Occasions Catalogue - the Sweet Pins and Tags pack. I coloured the tag using a sponge brayer and Night Of Navy ink and then layered some stickers from the Memories & More pack. The flowers were white, so to turn them Pineapple Punch I simple coloured them with the Dark Pineapple Punch Blend.

I used a length of Pineapple Punch 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon to hold the box closed and to anchor the tag. It didn't stand out very well, so I added a belly band of Night Of Navy underneath. Much better!

That's it for me, so why not pop on over to Catherine's blog to see the rest of this week's projects?

Bye for now,

Tina

  2. Great job Tina. I really like how the tag compliments the design of the box so well. Upi have done a great job for a colour you aren't overly fond of.
