Hello there. Today I have another pink creation to share. It's not a colour that I use regularly but I have been trying to add a few more girlie coloured cards to my stock box and In the Pink challenges certainly help to get the inspiration flowing.
So, using their latest challenge in the form of a photograph
I made this...
I stepped outside my comfort zone for this one and unearthed an ancient stamp set from Personal Impressions in order to do a spot of heat embossing direct to the card blank together with a bit of inking. The sentiment from Mama Elephant was also heat embossed onto a SB label. Finally a Promarker coloured cupcake slathered in glitter and some roses to finish off.
Hope you like it...I'm not sure!!

I really don't want to go back to work today but I did buy a few crafty goodies last week so I suppose I had better put in an appearance !!
Hope your week is a good one xx

ReplyDeleteOh, I'm afraid you'll have to do a bit of work to earn more pennies for more crafty goodies :D. Debra x
Well I for one like your card, different for you but we all step out of our comfort zone now and again.
ReplyDeleteWhen I clicked on I though you had been baking ... then I thought PINK cakes for Fathers Day ... NOPE!!
Have a good day working, just keep thinking of the Craft Goodies, I will all be worth it.

Love that the sentiment is the focal point of your card, the stamped cupcake background is great and the cupcake embellishment the perfect finishing touch. I'm never sure of cards which take me out of my comfort zone I love this

Love the cupcake designs, and your wonderful embossed sentiment, and die cut shape for it.

Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
I love what you've done here Sarah. Such fabulous colours and wonderful stamping. I've had this cup cake stamp set for ages and not done very much with it so this is great inspiration, thank you. Crafty hugs, Sandra :) X

I'm so glad that our challenge at In The Pink inspired you and your card looks utterly delicious! Of course, pink is very much in my comfort zone...and so are cupcakes - lol!

Big hugs, Kat xx
Cake?!.... Always!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteSurely not, you must be the only lady in blog town who's lacking pink cards?!!

This is one of my favorite sentiment stamps and it's perfect for your yummy card. Your take on the inspiration picture is perfect!
ReplyDeleteStunning background, Sarah! Love it! xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sarah! I love all the cupcakes in the background, and your black sentiment panel is such an amazing piece for contrast! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteOh I do like it Sarah! Fabulous embossed background, really pushes the focal cupcake to the front. Gorgeous and delicious, thanks for sharing with us at ITP. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteYou've done just great 'outside your comfort zone'. The pinks in this pretty card look wonderful in the shades you've selected. Love that yummy goodie in the focal spot, and also like the repetitive pattern in the background emphasizes the theme so nicely. The blackboard matted with the hot pink is definitely a WOW spot to hold this fancy font sentiment, and of course the tiny pinks of the roses...just more deleesh. You did a wonderful creation with this one! Pink must like you! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteOooo stunning and striking hun, Luv Sam x
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, oh my favourite colour! I think this card is wonderful! Love your background. I must get the embossing powder out again!
ReplyDeleteHugs Lynsey x
Oh yum... I really ought to play along with this one, lol. Gorgeous card Sarah. Love the heat embossing and the sparkle on the cupcake!
ReplyDeleteAs for how my son fractured his toe... He came charging down the stairs (at a terrifying pace!) trying to get away from his sister who was throwing foam darts at him (not exactly painful, those...). When he got to the last step he stepped wrong and bent his big toe back too far. He had a good giggle about being silly and was fine until the toe started swelling and we figured it was best to get it seen to!
Naturally he proclaimed he was going to be more careful in future, then promptly went and almost did the same thing again, lol. x
Lovely background stamping and I love the blackboard style sentiment, a gorgeous card.

If you responded, I didn't get it, so could you resend it? Thank you! I'm quivering with becitement so much that I can hardly type!!) Hugs, Darnell
