JAI #328 Just add P

Hello there,
rather amazingly I escaped a cold that laid the rest of the family low and on top of that luck managed to bask in some spring sunlight - only briefly - but it was so pleasant to feel that gentle warmth. For those out there not so lucky I have something to show you that will brighten up your day - especially if you like pink. Why pink? Well because this week the Just Add Ink challenge from Tina is to Just Add something beginning with P. P?? you say - well what we want you to do is make the major element of your project something that starts with P. This can be a colour - pink, it could be a pop-up card, or an object like pots, plants or pandas. The possibilities are only limited by the things you can think of that start with P! I went pink because I was making a birthday card for my soon to be 6 year old niece. For most 6 year old girls you can't go wrong with something pink and sparkly! Here it is.

And the inside.

I knew I wanted to use the new SU! Sweet Cupcake set so I pulled out a selection of pinks and tried them out. In the end I settled on Watermelon Wonder, Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride for the cupcake on the front and Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo for the inside. I also used the first colour combination to added an ombre progression of colour to the front (after I had embossed my large dots with sparkly embossing powder). For the cupcake wrapper I used Smokey Slate and Basic Gray (stamped off and full strength). To finish off the cupcake I wanted to add some sparkle and loads of shiny 3D texture that meant Wink of Stella and dollops of crystal effects.

I was assured that this was a hit with my niece so I was a happy Auntie!

Do go check out the rest of the design team for lots of fun 'P' ideas.

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
