Pink and Green

Trying to work with non Stampin Up patterned paper always is a challenge for me because most of my inks are Stampin Up -- I like things that coordinate/match/whatever -- so easy! I bought this pink and white paper as part of a Rob and Bob collection, which I found at a Border's Book Store! I made the mistake of thinking that one of my 4 shades of pink ink would match. NOT So, I stamped some Glorious Green words and images onto the patterned paper and just ignored the whole non-matching pink thing. Glorious Green is so not my favorite green and I have tons of this paper, so this was a great way to use it. While I'm not a big fan of this shade of green, I love the way just a bit of it looks with pink -- it's got that spring thing going for it! I thought about adding some ribbon, but it just didn't work, so I once again decided to leave well enough alone! How I made this card: I cut the patterned paper into a 4.5" square and stamped the words with SU Glorious Classic ink right onto the paper -- even going in a curve was easy because I was using acrylic stamps (ok, I'm on a tiny soap box, relax, I'll get over it!!!). The flowers and center of the flowers are from Papertreyink's Paper Tray set. The words and phrases are from Wordsworth Acrylic Tiny Words set. Other supplies: white eyelets (source unknown), SU's Glorious Green and Ultrasmooth White cardstocks. The card itself is a 5" square. ******* Thanks for reading my blog. It makes me feel good to know that someone else besides my husband and son are listening to me babble....
