Oriental pink



This card uses Mercy's sketch 68:

I've used the colours for 411 colour inspiration 136:

The background paper is a download I found on the internet. The wide strip down the righthand side is BG sultry and the backing behind the cherry blossom image, which has been very lightly coloured with copics, is BG euphoria. The strip with the prima pearls on the left is BG lily kate. The oriental character stamp means 'dream'. I lightly 'pinked' the edges of the cherry blossom image with copic sugared almond pink and fingered some lavender stickles on to the corners - it doesn't show up here, but is glittery irl.

Just realised how dark the picture is, so this is another version and a closer shot which shows the stickles glitter a bit better:



This is also for:

One stop craft 93: 'oriental delights'
Basic Grey 26: 'pearls'
Cooking it up with Katie 24: 'make a flowery pink square' - flowers, a square, dash or two of pink
Paper romance 11: 'pink & bling'
Pixie dust studio 35: 'pretty in pink'
Digi doodle 20: 'flowers'
Speedy the cat (Mark's finest papers) 16: 'think flowers'
Stamp and create 4: 'flowers'
