Colour Creations - Polished Pink Week 38

Hello and welcome everyone to the Colour Creations blog hop where members of the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! demonstrators showcase a new colour every Wednesday. Tonight’s colour is another pink following on from last week - Polished Pink, 

I really like this pink, a bright colour that reminds me of candy and sweets. Which is why I decided to use the Share a Milkshake bundle for this weeks card. The stamp set allows you to ‘build’ a milkshake but I’ve used it to create ice cream cones.

The card is a very basic ‘Barn door’ fancy fold of Polished Pink card stock. After scoring and folding a 14.8cm x 10.5cm card I cut horizontally (at approx. 7.4cm) to the score line and then along the score line to remove the top half.

On the front panel I adhered an embossed Basic White layer using the Gingham 3D EF. A Basic White scalloped circle and an Early Espresso circle die cut from the Neutrals 6”x6” DSP pack have been adhered together to the middle card front.

Now for the fun bit and build the ice cream and waffle cone! I stamped the ice cream scoops in two different sizes with Polished Pink ink. These were die cut with matching dies together with a plain white scoop of ice cream. The white scoop was also dry embossed with the Painted Texture EF to replicate the creamy texture. The Cherry was stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink.

The wafer cone die cuts and also embosses the pattern. I have inked the edges with Early Espresso using a sponge dauber. And then there is the lattice-type die to replicate a decorative chocolate lattice. Yummy!!

The sentiment on the card front is from the Share a Milkshake stamp set and was die cut with a die from Scalloped Contours die set. Some 2021-23 In Colour Opal rounds in Polished Pink have been adhered to the card front.

Inside the card the sentiment from Biggest Wish stamp set is stamped with Polished Pink ink. The ice cream bowl with a scoop of ice cream and cherry has been stamped/die cut.

Hope you enjoy the remaining blog hop where you can find more Polished Pink inspiration from the very talented Theresa Gerrard.
