Impression-Obsession In The Pink Challenge




Welcome to the 'In The Pink' Impression-Obsession challenge!  I have a card to share today.

I kept my card really CAS, which is very difficult for me.  But, I like the look, sometimes, and particularly for this cross image, I wanted it to take center stage.  I felt anything I did with embellishing or other stamping would distract from it.  

I started with a cream card stock panel, and used my blending brush to apply some worn lipstick distress ink in a loose cross shape.  I attached this panel to a pink A2 card front.  

Next, I stamped the cross from the Cross of Flowers CL928 set using Ranger archival potting soil ink.  I used my Misti, as I wanted to make sure the image stamped nice and dark.  I colored this image with my
Arteza Fineliner Pens.  I just love these pens.  They have very fine tips, and the colors are fabulously brilliant.  You can check them out at Arteza HERE to see the colors and sets available.
I attached the cross to the card front with foam tape on the pink brushed area, then stamped, colored and added the Rejoice banner with foam tape.

 For the inside, on cream card stock, I brushed some of the pink, stamped the small cross from the set, and the row of flowers in pink.  I stamped the Happy Easter and colored the cross flowers, and added it inside the card.  

 While everything was out, I thought I might as well decorate my envelope for a matching set....

I hope you are inspired to join our In The Pink Challenge.
