I'm taking a break today from all the Halloween and Fall projects to share a pretty pink card. Over on the WPlus9 Design Blog they are doing a color challenge for Breast Cancer Awareness. The colors are light pink, white and grey or black. I definitely want to acknowledge BCAM so I was glad for the reminder to stop and take a minute to do so. Click here to go to the WPlus9 Design Blog! Maybe you want to make a card too…there is still over two weeks left.
Here is the Trigger Image for the Color Challenge:
Here is my Copic color palette and the stamp I used. That stamp is an old favorite from PSX that was purchased in 1995!! Don't you love their images? So detailed and classy. Their stamps are timeless. I wish they were still in business. I used many shades of pink for the flowers. I started by coloring every flower the same very light shade and then added darker (tiny) parts afterwards. To get the look of galvanized steel, use your cool grey palette.
This patterned paper has all kinds of nice sayings having to do with gratitude. I really liked it and thought it fit nicely. I used pink bazzill doodlebug paper and of course, a pink ribbon. The heart is from a Tim Holtz package of goodness!
Does your stamping table look like this after you make something? I mean, you would think I made 50 cards…but no…just one! It looks like a hurricane went through there! I have this big table, but I end up stamping in a tiny 6 inch square of space! hahaha. Have a great week everyone! My thoughts and prayers to our loved ones who are breast cancer warriors.

wow, what a gorgeous card, Wanda! I just adore how this turned out! Gorgeous use of the color palette and another fabulous coloring job. I totally love everything about this, from the lovely floral stamp to the layered scallops to the patterned paper to the ribbon to the hanging heart. Oh yes, and the beautiful banner cut sentiment strip, too. 🙂
Gorgeous Wanda so elegant too!
A very lovely card the stamp is so beautiful too….. also love the coloring!
My workspace also looks like that ..but when I
end working for that day I always clean up.
Everything back on its place..love to start with a clean tidy work space.
I adore your card, Wanda! Pink tulips are a personal favorite of mine, and I love that sweet heart you’ve attached! Absolutely stunning!
Love the card Sistah! Thanks for reminding us about Breast Cancer Awareness month. Yeah, that pic of your work space looks like mine but a little neater after making just one card! Seriously, I don’t understand why I only have a 6 inch work area either!
So beautiful Wanda!!!
And yes my desk area looks like a tornado hit it after just one card 🙂
