Welcome!
The sun is shining, the crocus and bulbs are popping through the soil and I'm squinting - lol! Boy, it's amazing what happens when the sun comes out. We've had an extremely mild winter, with no snow and only some rain but I miss the snow! Come on, can we have a bit of weather before the yardwork starts up again? I know, I know, I should be thankful because there are plenty that got hammered this winter by cold and snow but I actually miss it.
On to the card, shall we? Today's card was needed for a friend, a thank you of sorts, well kinda! She'll get it... It all started with Color Hues #126 challenge - Pink & Red, which was quickly emphasized by Triple B - January. Okay, two in a row! Who could I say no to those colors?!
Right!
Lots of red, pink and some white, plus don't forget about those "allowed" neutrals!
My press plate was foiled with Splb Prism foil, then I blended with a light shade of pink, a deep red and two lighter shades of gray. The center was cut with the center die from the set and a pressed sentiment in medium gray was added over the opening. While I started with a red pressed sentiment, it was quickly decided that the gray would be a much better color -- bingo!
Now, while this close-up appears to be a green-gray, it is indeed not! I had to hunt around for the perfect grays to avoid that. I like! And it's off to the recipient and hopefully received.
Supplies:
PFS - Splendid Florals pp/die/stencils
Splb - Yana's Special Sentiments gfp (yes, I pressed with a glimmer plate!)
I hope you've had a magnificent and short week, thus creating what feels like a lovely, long weekend!
Hugs,
TK
