Simon Says Stamp Monday's Challenge this week is All Things Pink, while Penny Black and More's Challenge is Pretty in Pink... so I made an all pink card, also using Spots and Stripes, to fit this week's challenge at Allsorts.
I used a stencil for the stripes, a stamp for the spots (the stamp's a bit wide, but it's also created striped spots 😊), using Spun Sugar and Victorian Velvet Distress Inks, with a touch of Versafine Clair pink, which I don't like...but it is pink! The 2 part flower stamps have a solid image, but I stamped it, and the outside, in Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide, expecting it to emboss...but the Distress Inks picked up the EP instead... I quite like it, though. I also added a touch of Promarker to the petals and used it for the stems. I used a toning card for the mount (sorry the scanner can't seem to pick that up) and a Spun Sugar shade for the actual card, so the only thing that isn't pink is the sentiment.
Day of the Month Club's current challenge is Anything Goes, in honour of World Cardmaking Day, October 5th and
Time Out's challenge is to make something Encouraging.
Thank you for calling in...
I'll be back soon

Oh nice pink Cath. I like how you overlaid the dots and flowers. It makes fantastic layering and makes those flowers really pop. It makes a great thank you card. Happy Friday. Hugs-Erika
A very different card for your Cath but very pretty in the soft and subtle colours and that's a really delicate stencil, perfect for our 'Spots and/or Stripes' theme at Allsorts and 'Pretty in Pink' theme at Penny Black and More, many thanks for joining in at both.

I would never thought this was by you, dear Cath. It is so different from your normal full color work. Regardless, I love it and another reason why I don't make cards. They would pale in comparison to yours.
A beautiful card tone on tone. And I especially like the CAS style!
Thank you so much for joining with us at DotMCC.

Lovely card! I am moving toward monochrome lately. May I ask what toning card is? Also, who makes the dot stamp? This is just such an appealing image.
I rarely use either Spun Sugar or Victorian Velvet as i find them so pale they hardly show. Obviously I am doing something wrong because you have used them and they look lovely.
I take my hat off to you for using the stencil and the stamp in that way - they look as if they are meant to be together and create interest down the left hand side of the card. Obviously a skilful use of both!
A lovely card Cath, not one that I would have picked out as being yours so that shows just how very versatile you are.
Hugs, Neet xx

Love these beautiful flowers and the different pink shades you used for! The strips and dots and the black sentiment are a perfect balance to the flowers! Thank you so much for playing with us at DotMCC. Rosi x
