Think About Color Thursday - Whisper White and Shades of Pink

This week's blog color combination is:


Whisper White and Several Shades of Pink!  {Of course, in honor of Valentine's Day!}

To make this card, die cut Top Notes in both Whisper White and a coordinating designer series paper (This dsp is a Rose Red patterned paper from a retired "Cutie Pie" Designer Series Paper - you can use any current Rose Red shade of dsp or any of Stampin' Up's shades of pink!)  I stamped my message, "thinking of you", repeatedly onto the Top Note dsp in Whisper White Craft ink, stamping off the Top Note so it looks like the "thinking of you" is part of the pattern on the designer paper.


Adhere both Top Notes to the card, slightly offset so you can see both colors of top note.
Next, punch circles from the various shades of pink that you have chosen as your card's color palette.  Adhere the circles overlapping across the card.


Carve out a small sliver from the fold of the card with paper snips so when you open the card, there is a narrow hole which is the perfect size for inserting ribbon.  The little paper snips scissors, or trimming scissors, should just follow along the fold every so slightly.


Now, slide Pretty in Pink satin 5/8" ribbon through the ribbon slit; tie it around the card - a double knot or even a pretty bow would look nice.
