I'll be honest - I don't actually like the style used in the tutorial for this project so tried to find a way of incorporating the idea of using 2 different colored inks while still achieving a more subtle look.
I used Adirondack lights ink in shell pink and Memento lulu lavender to give a more delicate contrast.
I continued the idea of using 2 inks for the flower centers - Memento rich cocoa and PTI harvest gold.
The flowers are from the Simple Sunflowers mini stamp set and die and the sentiment is Fillable frames #4.
I learned 2 things this week that will be nothing new to most people but were new - and really useful - to me.
First, the best way to get the paper out of dies is to use a glue dot on the end of a pencil and second, to make an easy mat for a die cut just draw round the outside of the die and then cut it out. I know they're both really obvious but I'd never thought of either until I saw them used.

Very pretty card, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteDid not know either of your terrific hints, so thank you for sharing, and love the subtlety of the petals, especially the flower centers!
