For those that like the darker colors and in particular red here is another card along the same lines.
Some of you have told me that you save the red for Valentines or Christmas themed cards but it is a color that can be used anytime for any occasion.
The sentiment on this card is from Crafters Companion and is one of the stamps in the Sheen Douglass range
This card has a red and crystal Hatpin pushed into the flowers and they are from Wild Orchid Crafts
I have added the glitter from Glitter Magic to the petals just to add a little sparkle.
And as always it is much better in real life.
Thank You

I am not a Red person but have used that background Die lots in other colour combinations.
All organised, kits made up to do a "Workshop" on your Origami Box.
The ladies have been on at me for ages to do this ....... a lot of work but I am sure it will go well.
Have a wonderful day

Oh, I just love the colour red, and this card shows how to use it well. You are right, why should a colour be restricted to a couple of occasions only, especially one as bright as this.

Another stunning card, Christina. I love red and it really pops with the silver. Beautiful hatpin, too. Have you ever tried making those pop up box cards? They seem to be 'on trend' recently.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Chinese, red is always one of my favourite colours. It represents good fortune and prosperity! The card is very pretty and bold. Absolutely my style!
ReplyDeleteWell deserved on the rising number of followers! Congratulations!
Christina, your cards are always so pretty, and that is why I enjoy following your blog so much. The give-aways are icing on the cake (and who doesn't love iced cake?), but your generous gift of sharing your time and ideas with us is wonderful. Thank you. BethAnn M.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card, so striking. I do love red and white together, but I do only seem to use it Christmas.
