Think Pink!

Saturday's Workout Challenge #10 was to make anything using hand cut stuff! Those of you who visit my blog already know that I dont have any punches and stamps and so I hand draw/or print and hand cut my stuff. This challenge was just perfect for me! Arty Girls challenge #39 and CaardVarks are going pink! Arty Girls challenge is “Hint of Pink” and CaardVarks challenge is "Think Pink". All the girls love to work with pink! I guess this is going to be fun for everyone!

I have loads of other pink cards that I could just upload but then I thought neh! What’s the fun if I keep posting older stuff instead of accepting the challenge and making one especially for the challenge! But this time instead of one I made three! Lol yeah I had some time to myself so I thought I better do something constructive instead of sleeping whole day long!
Ah well there are some goodies involved too in this challenge! Do take a look while you are at it.

Here's my first card:

I really wanted to work with light pink but never actually got a chance. But this I knew what to do. The reason I never could work with light pink or baby pink was that I have no decorative paper which would have matched. So this time I took a printer paper and doodled on it some spirals and polka dots. Voila! Decorative paper! Lol
Nothing much to tell about this card except for the most important part, the flower!

The flower as always is hand cut and hand drawn. I wanted to use more layers but then I was in a hurry to make more cards that I left it just there. And I think it looks okay like that too. Both layers are differently curved, the pink one bends down while the black one goes up but I bent it just a tiny bit at the tips.

This is a simple card but it was quite time consuming. I dyed the turquoise paper myself. Took out one of my larger flower stencils, drew it on the turquoise paper, I had to cut the petals individually and then stick it on to the pink chart paper. To give it a clean edge I applied embossing paste and sprinkled glitter on it.

Looks nice doesn't it?! Doesn't look as appealing in the pic though. But its one good lookin card I tell you!

It was hard work cutting the petals and then arranging them. I made one with yellow and pink, it looked far better than this one. A colleague of my mom’s gave it to someone as a get well card.

In this last card I used a very pale pink decorative paper, bronze dori and sequence strip ribbon. It’s a flap card. I am sorry I didn’t take another pic showing you whats inside. My camera’s battery died and then I forgot lol!

Here's a closer view. I forgot to mention the ribbon, flower embellishment didn't I! My bad!
