Colour Creations: Flirty Flamingo

 Hi!

Welcome to the Flirty Flamingo edition of the Colour Creations Blog Hops. Are you a fan of the bright pink? I wasn't start with, but I'm coming around to it. I decided to use some of the Hello, Irresistible DSP on my card.

I don't like a lot of the papers in the pack, but I do love this all over floral design. To make it a bit more interesting, I cropped a section that featured a taller flower using the largest of the elongated hexagon dies in the Nested Essentials Dies set. I matted it on Whisper White and popped it up over the rest of the DSP.

One of the banner dies was used to crop the sentiment, which is from Days To Remember. You can't go too wrong with some sparkly ribbon, so a short length was added under the banner. Speaking of sparkly, I swished some Wink Of Stella over the flowers in the popped up piece - it's just tricky to photograph!

I had a long, narrow strip of the DSP left, so I cut it in half and adhered it to either side of the writing panel on the inside of my card. It's a great way to use up scraps and adds a little bit of interest to the card.

My lovely friend, Kate Morgan, is the nest stop along the way in our blog hop tonight. You won't want to miss any of the Flirty Flamingo gorgeousness, so just keep on hopping until you get back to where you started.

As ever, Cathy Proctor does a wonderful job of keeping us all organised. If you run into any problems with links, just pop on over to her blog. She will have a list of all of tonight's participants to help get you back on track.

Bye for now,

Tina
