Day 1 of the Online Card Classes Spring Card Camp is officially completed by me now. This last class by Jennifer is one I struggled with but finally got two usable card fronts. I’m actually pretty thrilled with the final cards … I definitely worked hard for them, that’s for sure!
The pink version below is what I’ve submitted for The Sisterhood of Crafters challenge of Think Pink. The pale version of this card definitely lets the pastel pink shine through as the star of the show, that’s for sure. And the pink gems really finish it off nicely, it’s such a delicate card.
Supplies used:
- Stamp: Rose Lace background by Gina K Designs
- Dies:
– Master Layouts 4 by Gina K Designs for the scalloped rectangle
– Master Layouts 5 by Gina K Designs to cut the centre rectangle to create a white frame
– Stitched Hi by Spellbinders for the letters and shadow (I believe it may still exclusive to the Crop & Create March 2022 event by Scrapbook & Cards Today) - Inks: Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Candied Apple and Spiced Marmalade
- Cardstock:
– Innocent Pink and heavyweight white cardstock by Gina K Designs
– Matte gold cardstock from the Craft Perfect Gold Hearted paper pack by Tonic Studios - Embellishments: Ballet Slipper jewels by Pinkfresh Studios
The more vivid version I chose for The Card Concept challenge 175 May Flowers. To be honest I’d intended making a different card for the challenge, but this one fit the bill perfectly in the end. I’d say it’s style is ‘Classy and Elegant’ and the background is made up of lacy rose flowers, with the rich warm colours of the inspiration photo. I just adore this card!

What beautiful cards! That technique is awesome! Thanks for sharing these beauties with us at the Card Concept!
Was that Jennifer McGuire? I am glad to hear that someone else struggles with her techniques; however in the end you succeeded. Your cards are both so elegant and colorful.
Yes it was – I think my problem was just the choice of inks I used in the other examples, but also my cardstock choice – one curled into pretty much a tube LOL. I’m so glad I persevered, though – I guess mistakes are good, because you learn more from them 🙂
Both cards are beautiful and SO perfect for our challenge at The Card Concept. Thanks so much for sharing with us and please visit again soon.
Blessings,
