OCC...Not Big on Pink Challenge

 

Happy Saturday Peeps, It is time for another Our Creative Corner Challenge. 

This week our hostess is the fabulous Sharon Wheet from Designs by Sharon. She has a fun challenge for us, here it is in her own words:

'Not Big on Pink' .  For those who know me, I am a girl-y girl.  I love flowers, ribbons, buttons, and all shades of red/pink.  When you see my paper crafting

samples, you can tell right away I like shabby chic, and feminine images.   However, I have girlfriends who don't even like pink!  Crazy, I know.  So, for this paper craft challenge, I want you to use any shade of blue, and just a touch of pink.  If you need a number, think 1/5 or less in pink.  You must also incorporate some texture, (ie: fabric, ribbon, floss, etc) and a metal piece (ie: brad, push pin, charm, etc.).  Make something pretty without going over the top in pinks!  Heather Hilliard of House Beautiful circa Oct 2011, said that, 'A bright, happy blue becomes very sophisticated when paired with a neutral'.   So, if you find you're having a bit of a struggle, let Heather's words help guide you.  And most of all, have FUN!

I choose to use Pool Party for my blue and the touch of pink is Calypso Coral.

I wanted to use this cute little girl stamp that is from the new Stampin Up set called "Gift Givers" it is in the Holiday Mini. She is adorable huh?

I stamped her with some black stazon onto white card stock and colored with my aqua painter and some ink from squishing together my ink pads.

   

Here is a close up of that sweet little image:

I framed her with some Pool Party card stock that I embossed with the new Snow Burst embossing folder I then matted with a bit of Calypso Coral card stock. The DSP I used is from the Stampin Up Domestic Goddess paper pack. I cut a snowflake from the Snowflake #2 die with more pool party card stock and I used just a portion of the snowflake and tucked it under the edge of the framed little girl. I added some of the new dazzling details to the snowflake and the image piece. I added a bit of calypso coral ribbon and some "silver" pearls.
