Pink & Peaceful

Hello everyone,

When I first came across Friday's Stamp Something pink challenge, I started thinking about how I could incorporate pink into a Christmas card. I think I managed it. I used Sunday's Stars and Stamps sketch to get started. This card also fits Sunday's Paper Players anything goes challenge.

The card base is from Recollections and is stamped with Stampin' Up Serene Snowflakes. The layers are Canford Silver and Stampin' Up Pink Pirouette. The pink layer was textured with Cuttlebug's Winter Wonderland dry embossing folder. The image is Heartfelt Creations Elegant Snowflake Medallions, heat embossed with Close To My Heart silver pearl and cut with Spellbinders Holly Ornamentn Die Cut. The sentiment is Gina K Vintage Borders. The entire card is highlighted with Diamond Stickles.

I really love this card. It is so soft and elegant and peaceful. I don't usually see pink as a Christmas colour but I think it really works with this card. I love the hints of silver as it lends that little bit of sheen that adds to the elegance.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
