Guest Designer for Color Hues Challenge #103 - Pink and Red

Hello everyone.  I’m delighted to be guest designing (GD) at Color Hues (TCH) for their PINK AND RED special collaboration challenge with Inkspiratiinal.


With it being February, these colours are geared towards Valentines, but I don’t really celebrate it, so I made a cute circle-shaped shaker card instead (no hearts) using products from Whimsy Stamps (WS). 

*affiliate links were used in this post at no extra cost to you… thank you for your support!*

The bear from Teddy Bear Christmas Eve (love stretching my supplies😉) was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then die cut out with its matching die.  A white Posca pen was used to add details/highlights to the gifts. 

Copic markers used:
reds - R27/46 
browns - E50/51/53/55/57 


Used the Pierced and Stitched Circles die set to die cut the circle cutouts, frames and card base (did partial die cutting for this).  Backed the opening of the top frame with acetate, then stacked five frames underneath to form the compartment where the shaker bits are contained.  Treated the area with anti-static powder to help the bits to shake freely.  Stamped the Cosmic Swirl Background with pink dye ink and white heat embossed the sentiment onto red cardstock before assembling the card to finish.


I want to thank Nancy and TCH team for having me GD with them.  Remember this is an 2-for-1 challenge… create one card and link up to two challenges.  WS products used for my card are linked below.  Thank you for stopping by.

Trina, if your circle-shaped shaker isn't sweet enough, the little bear with his gifts takes it to over-the-top sweetness plus. As always, your colouring impresses; your creativity dazzles and delights! So wonderful to have you as our Colour Hues guest designers - and double thrilled that you shared this cutie in the Inkspirational gallery.
