Today is also time for our new challenge at CR84FN, and we are welcoming two new members to the Design Team. Both ladies have been Guest Designers before - so join me in welcoming Pauline Pollington (Craft Obsessions) and Shannon White (Enchanted Ladybug Creations).
After the bright, vibrant colours of our last challenge, we have a softer, more pastel palette for you to play with - pink, peach and light blue - lovely! Let your imagination run riot with CR84FN51 - the inspiration photos on the graphic are just wonderful and are courtesy of Magnolia Rouge - I have spent a while browsing the site - it's fab!
I really like the soft shades of blue and subtle pattern on the wedding cake, so I made blue the main colour on my birthday card. I used some Stampin' Up! Bashful Blue card to make the card base, rounding the corners for a softer finish. I cut white card for a mat and stamped, in palest pink, the pretty daisy trellis from Pic-Nic Patterns. The wings were stamped in Bashful Blue onto blue card, heat embossed with clear powder and cut out. I stamped the dress on coordinating patterned SU designer paper, cut it out and attached to the card over the wings. The birthday greeting was also embossed. Finally, I added a touch of peach in the little corsage on the dress. This card is for Ben's Aunty Karen who lives in San Deigo - it was posted before we left the UK, so Karen will have received it in plenty of time!!!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - You're Lovely, Say It With Style, Pic-Nic Patterns; Can't remember which company made the wings (but they're fab)
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Bashful Blue, Pink Pirouette, Peach Parfait; Versafine - Onyx Black
Accessories: Embossing powder, card and gem from stash.
