Oh So Pretty

Pink and Red

are not easy colours to blend well but 

this year's In Color 2013-2015 Strawberry Slush makes is easy. 

Combining the Background Builder stamp set with Strawberry Slush Ink Stamped on Very Vanilla Card stock made the perfect looking back ground which help blend two tricky colours.

I backed the Photos on to Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper (Soft Suede and Very Vanilla)

matched up with hand made flowers using Secret Garden Framelits, Boho Blossoms flower punch and Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds.

the leaves are made with Very Vanilla card stock and the Bird Builder punch daubed with Pear Pizzaz ink top off with Crystal Effects. 

I dyed Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon using Blushing Bride ink refill then daubered the edges with Strawberry Slush ink.

I finished off the page with cross-stitched Linen Thread, an arrow paper clip from Stampin' Up! Hung Up Cute Clips pack

and the first two letters out of the "merry" from the Expressions Thinlits Dies ( from the Holiday catalogue) 

      cut out of Silver Foil Sheets.

I hope this give you some great ideas.

'til next time.
