Here's another Reason To Smile…!
Wow! Talk about pretty in pink! I stepped WAY out of the box on these Two Cool cards, because I'm not really that into Pink, unless she's singing "Get The Party Started."
But, I wanted to try the technique that I fell in love with back in May…
White Emboss Resist with Flower Fest.
So, I white embossed the Reason To Smile line images onto Regal Rose card stock…
…then sponged on some Melon Mambo in the centers. Voila! The same terrific effect that I achieved with Flower Fest! Love it!
Even better, this set has some smaller flower images that I had to try, too!
Tiny and cute! I love these small flowers best!
For a matching accent, I used the Blossom Punch and Boho Blossom Punch to create a layered paper flower. The bottom layer is white card stock, then there's a scrunched Regal Rose Designer Series Paper Patterns blossom, then Melon Mambo card stock small flower center. It's topped off with a Melon Mambo button tied with White Baker's Twine.
I love the delicate scalloped pattern of the Whisper White Finishing Touches Edgelit border, embellished with the tiniest Pearl Jewels.
I finished off the card with a strip of Regal Rose Designer Series Patterns Paper with a greeting from Sassy Salutations in Basic Black. This one has a Large Scallop Edgelit border, again adorned in Pearl Jewels.
