Blogger Challenge: Week 134

This week’s blogger challenge is a color one featuring one of my most favorite color combinations ever-pink, brown, and white. I turned to a cute set from Kitchen Sink Stamps for this sweet card.

I used a combination of brown inks to stamp the sweet dog image on a white panel. I stamped backwards, starting with image 4 using these inks: SU!’s Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, and Vivid’s Tuscan Tan. The image is matted on a brown panel.

The rest of the cardfront is done in shades of pink. I used a piece of dotted paper from the retired SU! Sweet Always paper pack to cover most of the cardfront. I added a coordinating Pretty in Pink panel across the front of the card with a dainty scalloped heart border, courtesy of a Martha Stewart border punch. A white satin ribbon, tied in a bow, is wrapped around the panel. The set’s “puppy love” sentiment is stamped in rose ink added at the top of the image panel. It’s accented with a felt heart and a tiny button.

For more ideas using this color combination, you can visit the rest of the challenge players. Links to their blogs are in the sidebar on the right.

Multi Step Kittens & Pup stamp set (Kitchen Sink Stamps); Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, and Regal Rose Classic inks, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Close to Cocoa, and Whisper White cardstock, Sweet Always designer series paper, 1 3/8” circle punch (Stampin’ Up!); 1 ½” circle punch (EK Success); white satin ribbon (Michaels); scallop heart border punch (Martha Stewart); felt heart (American Crafts); white button, twine (Papertrey Ink)
