PINK at CAS-ual Fridays

The challenge this week at CAS-ual Fridays is to make something pink!    I'll bet the gallery there will be loaded with lovelies!  Here's my contribution:


supplies: white cardstock, pink vellum, Hero Arts CG291 Three Dotted Flowers, CL490 Sending Smiles, Verve VS-0144 Bloom & Grow (leaves), VersaMark ink and white embossing powder, peeled paint distress ink, VersaFine onyx black ink, Martha Stewart button (thanks, Mary Anne)

It's no secret that I love this flower - the 3 different sizes are perfect for layering - I used a soft pink vellum this time.

Your pink vellum flower is so gorgeous! I love the way the bottom layers peek through. This is such a beautiful card, so elegant with the sheer pink flower, the pale green leaves and the crisp white background.

Lin, this is such a lovely card! I knew you would be participating, with the topic being pink! (I expected a pink gingham flower to be honest, but this vellum flower is just gorgeous!)

I really like the look of embossing on vellum, and have yet to try. This looks so pretty, and light and fresh.

Such a pretty flower! I always forget about using vellum but it makes such pretty flowers. I also have that stamp and really wish Hero Arts would make a Silhouette cut file for it, I am no good at fussy cutting.

Thanks for sharing that this beauty is vellum. I just don't use that stuff because it kind of scares me, but I'd like to try a flower. Your layout is so perfectly balanced - great use of white space. Love it all.
