Tuesday night means it's time for the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Share. I've lost count of the number we are up to, but we are well past half way, and I'm impressed that I've managed to join in every week so far. Hopefully I haven't jinxed myself by saying that!
It's Petal Pink this week, which isn't a colour I particularly like. It's a little on the coral/peach side of the pinks and I prefer a pinker pink, if you know what I mean! It is a useful pink though, great for Caucasian skin tones, among other things. Anyway, on to the card! I used the partial die cutting technique to create the band across the middle of the Springtime Impressions Thinlit for the sentiment. I love how it creates one seamless piece for the front of the card.
To get the band, I lightly drew two lines across the Whisper White cardstock to mark where I wanted the band. I then ran my sandwich through the Big Shot, with one end of the top plate lined up with one of the lines. The older style plates with the straight edges work best for this technique. I then repeated for the other line. I then used my trimmer and snips to cut along the two lines, but just to remove the excess cardstock, I didn't cut through the die cut design. Does that make sense? If not, google it - Jennifer McGuire has a great video tutorial.
I finished the inside with a few of the coordinating flowers from the die set, adding a sequin to each centre to add a bit of glitz. This card will go to Ada's dance teacher, who is getting married in April. She likes her glitz!
Time to pop on over to Catherine's blog, where you can find the links to the rest of this week's Colour Creations cards.
Bye for now,

Tina I share your feelings towards petal pink but I think you've done an amazing job with this colour. Thank you so much for hopping along tonight!
ReplyDeleteA great technique Tina. Thanks for sharing. Great card too :)
ReplyDeleteWell that's a bit clever of you creating that band across the card. At first glance, it looked like a strip added across the front, but you are too creative. Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card as always Tina, I do share your view about the colour it's not one of my favourites in the list. but I think everyone has done such a great job with it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a simply, lovely card Tina.
