I’m thrilled to be a part of the FIRST Annual Ultimate Pink Blog Hop – a collaboration of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators around the world to support Breast Cancer Awareness month. Let’s turn the blogosphere – and Pinterest – PINK!!
Pink isn’t one of my go-to colors, so it’s a bit of a stretch for me to go All Pink. I decided to play it safe and CASE myself, and I chose one of my all-time favorites to start:
I love the Botanical Blooms stamps and coordinating Botanical Builder Framelits. One of my favorite things to do is to crank out a heap of floral pieces (there are 14 to choose from!) and keep moving them around until I’m happy.
This one made me happy!
I’ve used Whisper White, Shimmer White, Smoky Slate, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, and Rose Red, with a smidge of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper to add sparkle without sending Mr. Maui Stamper out on the “I HATE GLITTER” warpath. A few Rhinestone Jewels add a little more sparkle, and this card is ready for anything!
Dress it up or dress it down – I’ll stamp a sentiment on the inside when I choose the occasion. I keep a stash of blank cards for those moments when I realize I’m a day late and a dollar short (tell the truth, now…doesn’t that happen to all of us once in a while?)
Love You Lots is on the other end of the crafting spectrum – cute as a bug, I’d say! This is a quick and simple card with a color palette of Whisper White, Basic Grey, Blushing Bride and a Wink Of Stella. Do you Wink? It’s another way of adding sparkle without a tragic Glitter outbreak, making Certain Members of my household very unhappy.
A little Smoky Slate Stitched ribbon ties it all together {wink again!}
I hope you’ve enjoyed my venture into the World of Pink. Keep in mind that our focus isn’t so much on the color, but on what it represents: Breast Cancer Awareness. Take care of your body. Do your monthly self-exam. Support your sisters who are fighting. Contribute to an organization that funds research into learning more about this insidious disease.
And by all means, continue on the tour! There are 70 stops – I hope you’ve got a big cup of coffee!
