Pink Christmas

It's hump day & a gloomy one in MN! Time to brighten things up with a pink card for the current Christmas Kickstart Challenge.


Supplies: Paper - Ms Sparkle & Co A2 card;
BoBunny Winter Wishes
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug Diamonds in the Rough (retired)
Dies - Hero Arts Paper Layering Poinsettia;
My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 (retired)
Other - Aluminum foil over cardstock;
Black Soot Distress Ink; Memento Rose Bud ink;
Michael's gems

I adore the Hero Arts poinsettia die and use it often. I cut the pieces from Lawn Fawn pink Watercolor paper and layered them; the center was die cut from a scrap of aluminum foil. I tried Gail's technique of embossing household aluminum foil (first glued to cardstock). Since I used an embossing folder with diamonds, I'm also adding my card to the current Let's Squash It! Challenge for geometric metallics. And also adding to Watercooler Wednesday Challenge All Occasions with Tristan! **Update** also adding at Jingle Belles where they're dreaming of a pink Christmas too!! Thanks for the referral, Trina!

Thanks to Jo & elf Pops, Gail & Jo, the WWC team, and Stef & Lauren for the fun challenges. That's it for today - thanks for visiting!!
