OLW 84 Pink and Orange
Posted: March 27, 2012 Filed under: All You Need, CAS, Penny Black 21 Comments
Susan’s One Layer Wednesday challenge this week is to use Pink and Orange, as many pinks as you like but only one orange. I know my photo makes it look like my card is all orange but it is actually sponged in pinks, really! I would rarely choose to put pink and orange together but that is the beauty of challenges; they take us out of our comfort zones.
I masked, embossed the orange heart branches in clear and then sponged in a light and a dark pink and added a few more orange branches.
Supplies:
Stamps: All You Need, Gratitude (PB)
Inks: Regal Rose,Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie(SU), Versafine Onyx Black
Cardstock: MFP white
Also: clear e.p.

Heather, I’m not a big fan of either pink or orange, but this is gorgeous. I really love your style. Thanks for sharing. Jayne K
LOVELY!!
Way to rock this challenge! Love it!
These colors are really different for you, yet you’ve used them to make this totally your style. This is gorgeous. I’d never have thought pink and orange could be so lovely together. One question. You “embossed the orange heart branches in clear,” — did you stamp them in orange and then use a Versamark pen to cover each before embossing? Or did you stamp in orange, and then use a stampamajig to stamp over in Versamark? The branches just look so perfectly embossed.
WOW what a beautiful card. Great colors and design.

Well you might want to use them again after this triumph Heather – what an exciting result!
Gorgeous Heather, love it!!!
Gorgeous colouring. Not colours I would use but that’s the whole point of challenges!!
You have an absolute talent for the masking and sponging. I am practicing to achieve your technique. Thank you for the inspiration.
This has to be a stunning way to use the colours, the embossed orange shows up so well on the pink ….. Beautiful card :0)
