Think Pink and a *bit* of a sneak peek

Published by Michele Boyer at 6:00 am under My Designs, My Favorite Things

TAMToday I couldn’t decide if I wanted to post another Halloween card or go with my last two designs using Think Pink.  Since it’s the last day of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I decided to go with Think Pink by My Favorite Things.

Believe it or not, I didn’t paper- piece on this one!  *shock* Everything is colored with Copic markers including the ribbon.  The sentiment is from MFT’s new Essential Sentiments available tomorrow.

Cardstock:  SU Apricot Appeal, Chocolate Chip, Papertrey Ink white     Patterned Paper:  Me & My Big Ideas “Poppy”     Stamps:  My Favorite Things “Think Pink” and “Essential Sentiments”     Ink:  Brilliance Graphite Black, SU Chocolate Chip     Accessories:  Vanilla taffeta, Copic markers, SU Chocolate Chip marker, mat pack/needle, word window punch.     Finished card size 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.

ITTaNo sneak peek with this one, but I was so obsessive with the cutting and piecing, I had to share.

This is the card I had intended to contribute to the Ebay auction but I cut myself (the first time) on my (then) new paper trimmer and things got a bit messy.  As you can see, there is no red and I have really cleaned it up (as in “re-made” it).  The only marker used here was to color the skin.  I cut out the tiny ribbons, the hands, the clothes, the pink ribbon on the bottom… I know, I’m nuts. But I do like how it turned out.

Cardstock:  Papertrey Ink white     Patterned Paper:  Basic Grey Gypsy “Haven,” “Dragonfly” and “Archangel”     Stamps:  My Favorite Things “Think Pink     Ink:  Brilliance Graphite Black, Pretty in Pink     Accessories:   Copic marker, word window punch,  white brad, mat pack/needle, white Signo gel pen.     Finished card size 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.

Don’t forget…there are four more days to enter Lindsey’s Inkadinkado contest (details here)! She’s looking for a guest designer!  Lots of prizes!

Thanks for stopping by!  Even more sneak peeks tomorrow…new Christmas stamps by C.C. Designs! 

Happy Halloween!

    Love your cards, and can’t believe that your first card is not paper pieced.

    Great cards, Michele! I love that you can take a set and create such different looks with it! You have waaaaay more patience than I do — that’s a lotta cutting! :)

    I especially love the apricot card, maybe because of that Fall crispness in the air. These colors warm me up. Always flawless work, Michele!
