Embellish the Cure
Happy Monday, dear friends! Hope you all got your week off to a good start.
Don’t have too much to say today…so let’s move right onto the card. I absolutely LOVE this weeks Embellish Magazine challenge. The challenge was to use fuchsia, light pink, grey and rhinestones. Seriously, could there be a better challenge for me?! When I saw the challenge, I seriously wanted to start on a card right away. However, it was past 10pm and I knew I should be responsible and get some sleep. (No one likes talking to rude people on the phone!) After work I went to the gym (I’m SO determined to lose these 18 pounds!). However, while I was there, the only thing I could think about was this challenge! I ended up cutting my workout short so I could work on a card! Yes, I know, I’m a little strange….I blame Ashley for coming up with such an amazing challenge! :)
I’m pretty crazy about this card. Wish you could see the card in person…the rhinestones really make the card pop! I already have ideas on another card using these colors- I’m sure you’ll see another card {or two} featuring this weeks challenge.
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Stamps: Small Solid Circle, Guide Lines Two,
Paper: White, Sweet Blush, Raspberry Fizz, Smokey Shadow
Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Smoky Grey
Other: Hot Pink grosgrain, light pink rhinestones, SU! scallop border punch

So pretty! I love these colors too and that stamp set is great!
This is gorgeous!! I love Guidelines…great color combo.
Lovely design!!! Love the way you distributed the colors.
Thanks so much for participating in the challenge! Think Pink!
Paulina, spectacular work! The subtle grey lines carry my eye from wheel to wheel throughout the card. Pairing the simple circular design onto the background was a smart choice. By adding a rhinestone to the grey wheel, you brought sparkle to an often overlooked color!
I have a question for you, Paulina. When using dark colors such as this one as background, are you mounting this as a false front onto a basic card or are you inserting something else inside to accommodate writing?
