Colour Creations: Blushing Bride

Hi!

Thanks for joining me once again for the new Colour Creations Showcase. This week we are looking at the second Subtle on the alphabetical list of colours - Blushing Bride. It's a soft pink, that I'd describe as dusty pink. What about you?

I recently purchased the Be Mine Stitched Dies, mostly because they were the old style dies and were fairly heavily discounted. I don't make many hearts cards, but they are handy to have on the odd occasion that I really need them. Blushing Bride week seemed to be a good week to crack them open for the second time. The connected hearts die that I've used was the die that appeals to me most in the set. I cut it four times from Blushing Bride cardstock and then glued them together in a stack. I'd originally planned to sponge some Blushing Bride ink on Whisper White card and lay the hearts over the top, but at the last minute I changed my mind.

I used some gorgeous Frost White Shimmer Paint on a layer of Subtle embossed Blushing Bride card instead. It looks so pretty in real life, but is very hard to photograph! I used some Whisper White backed with an adhesive sheet to cut the word 'love' from the Well Written dies. There was a bit of card left over, so I cropped a few little hearts from the WW and inset them in the linked hearts.

I purposely let the inside without a sentiment, as it's a more versatile card that way. I cut the linked hearts once again from Blushing Bride, but this time I left the hearts intact. I already had a million of them left over from the front, and I liked the way that it looked with the hearts still in place.

That's all from me this week! Time now to pop on over to Catherine's blog to see what the rest of the team have got up with with Blushing Bride.

Bye for now,

Tina
