This week's Colour Creations blog hop is highlighting
Petal Pink.
I have had my first play with the new Dahlia Days bundle, and created a wedding card ... that I think really could be used for any occasion prompting congratulations.
I have teamed Petal Pink with Cinnamon Cider and Very Vanilla. My tendency is to pair Petal Pink with greys, but because of its yellow undertones I think it works well with this brown.
In this close-up photo, you can see that on the Petal Pink mat, I repeatedly stamped tiny flowers in Petal Pink ink. The die-cut overlay is beautifully detailed, and is enhanced by the addition of stamped and die-cut flowers and leaves. Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems adorn some of the flower centres.
I stamped the sentiment, from Slim Sayings, in Cinnamon Cider ink on a strip of Very Vanilla card. After stamping, I embossed it with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. A bow made from Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon was added as a finishing touch.
Inside the card, I added a Very Vanilla layer. At the bottom of this piece, I stamped a couple of the foliage stamps from Dahlia Days, in both Petal Pink and Cinnamon Cider inks.
