Stampin’ Up Expressions in Ink Polished Pink
Hello Everyone – wait until you see the ribbon treatment on today’s Stampin’ Up Expressions in Ink Polished Pink creation.
As you know pink is my favorite color and I used it to create a card. Look at how the Polished Pink and gold create this pretty card.
The Artistically Inked stamp set has some great images to use in your card making. Today’s card uses a bright pink pattern paper with the gold foil striped paper.
If you did not get this pattern paper you will need to see if you can find some as it is sold out!
I mentioned the ribbon treatment I used. I used the Open Weave ribbon and cut it apart to create 3 strips of ribbon which I then used to make my bow.
The Artistically Inked stamp set has great images that I used for the front sentiment panel. I also used those images to decorate the inside of the card and envelope.
I have a few posts where I used the Polished Pink. This idea uses the card stock to make a daisy. I used the color for the poppies on this card.
Three rectangles make the layout for this card. Here are the details.
