In the Pink

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I'm trying to use up some of the backgrounds I've done through the years.

This background was from our retreat in 2019.

It's well past time to put it on a card, don'tcha think?

The base was swiped with a baby wipe that was saturated with ink.

I used a stencil and embossing paste through the stencil for the flowers.

When I pulled it out for this card, I stamped randomly with a script stamp
with white ink.

After I cut it down, all it needed was a little butterfly on top.

Maybe I need to go through my box of unused backgrounds too after seeing this beauty!! I love the stenciled area and the white script also looks just perfect on this background...the addition of that pretty butterfly is the cherry on top! Lovely, lovely card Bonnie!! Hugs. :0)

It's great to use up card panels you've made and this is a beauty. I like the script stamping and the texture embossing paste gives. No wonder the butterfly flew by to investigate the flowers.

Bonnie this is as pretty a home as any butterfly could find! Why don't I have such luck with white ink? Stunning card!

Great to use up those pieces of work which have been left waiting for the right occasion, and I think this is so pretty in pink with the added texture paste flowers and white script, and the sweet butterfly is perfect as the focal image Bonnie. x

That is one, fabulous background, Bonnie! I've never stamped in white with such clear results before but you managed perfectly! I also love how the ink was pulled into the embossing paste and blending in those flowers so perfectly. What a beautiful die cut butterfly you chose too!

Bobby said...

I don't know how you remember when and how you did a background, Bonnie. Whenever it was it sure turned out pretty and the butterfly thinks so too.

Beautiful card Bonnie. And lovely to remember our wonderful retreat where you made it. I have some backgrounds left from than as well ... and ones that are even a lot older. What am I waiting for??!! I love your card with the addition of the lovely white script beside the stenciling. And the butterfly is the perfect finishing touch. Pretty in pink, my friend! xx
