Two Paper Divas~ Rose Bouquet

Happy Friday Crafty Friends, I'm back to share with you an lil' make I made for

Today I have a card using the newly released 

Rose Bouquet

and the "Spotlight" technique. Love this technique with the soft color palette of the card- allows the "POP" of color to really stand out.:o)

 

 I used some DP and Pink Cardstock from my stash and created a border with Martha Stewarts- Vintage Floral Punch with some Silver Recollections Glitter Tape. Added a Heart Doily and a Lil' Clothesepin that I added some pink twine to finish it all off. 

I colored the "Spotlight" piece that I die cut with a heart die and highlighted the image with Spectrum Noir Markers. 

I added a sentiment from Sweet Sentiments set in Blazing Red StazOn. Used a Tag die from Nellie Snellen's Curved Tags set.

Mounted it onto the card with 3D Foam Tape.  

 Thank you for stopping by today, I sure hope I've inspired you to get Crafty today!

Be sure to join me next Friday for a couple of fun Masculine makes using another set from this month's New Releases.

Dare to Dream

Good Morning! Today I have a spotlight card for you, in one of my favorite color combo's- Pink and Black.

 

 

I've had the feather Ribbon for a while now, but just waiting for the right project to use it on! I think it softens up the Pink and Black color combo!

 

 The Spotlight section:
