PTI January Blog Hop - Pretty in pink!

This month, Papertrey has challenged us to use pink in our creations for the blog hop:

Now, I don't tend to use a lot of pink but I do have the supplies for pink creations so I went to town using fuschias, pinks and deeper reds ...

I used the Chevron Cover plate as a stencil and sponged a variety of Fresh ink colours onto some LCI woodgrain cardstock.  I then added a vellum layer for the name 'Salel' for a colleague's new baby with some glitter alpha stickers.

 I tied some silver twine to the top and added a baby charm on the inside (click for a larger image).

This nex card was a simple one with some Pink Paislee chipboard shapes that I sponged with pink ink (Brilliance pearlescent pink) and Fresh ink slate ink.  I added a sentiment from PTI's Lovely Layers with Versafine Onyx Black.

 The card base is Recollections metallic silver - pink and silver always look so good together! :)

I used my Envelope Punch Board to make a patterned paper envelope which you can see just peeking out from underneath the card.

My next card is a simple light gray and pink one with some texture and dimension:

I used the In Bloom impression plate on a piece of pink card stock and used the 'hello' die for a negative die cut.  I kept the little pieces from the 'e' and 'o' and popped up the pink panel using foam dots.  The card base is a light gray card stock from Staples.

I picked up some Kate Spade tape from Indigo and thought it would look good with the gray and pink combo.  I added it to the edges on the top and bottom before stamping an ombre effect using three colours.

 Here you can see the light pink a little bit better:

I kept it one layer so it would be easy to mail even though I usually like to add more layers or dimension ... I even stopped myself from adding sequins - what do you think, should I add some after the fact?

Okay, last card on this pink-athon ....

A very simple one with Fresh ink fuschia stamped Stitches and Swirls from PTI.  I added a vellum sentiment using Fresh slate ink with an Embroidered Blooms 'thanks so much'.

I added some baby pink pearlescent Stickles in the centre of some of the flowers for a little something extra.

Hope you had fun using pink on your creations today!
