I ... don't know what came over me. I got my new WPlus9 dies and I just had to play. My Basic Grey Out of Print paper pack was still out (duh), so I made it ... wait for it ... (gah) PINK! I DID! I don't even think it will fit one of the HYCCT challenges past or future, but I still made it. I think I might have been half asleep from the effects of my much-needed massaaaage. Yeah, that's it.
So here's my card:
SEE?! PINK!
I die-cut the hope from a pink-ish piece and the heart from a cut-off of the background. It seemed kinda lame (still does, sorta), so I cut it five more times out of some packaging, disappeared the packaging, stacked them up, and voila: dimension. See how thick it is:
And the pink ribbon just seemed right. It might be a bit wide, so I may change it up, but pink is still the right color.
Even though this does not fit a specific challenge, it will still go into my pile of cards to send to the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. :)
So, have you played any of the HYCCT challenges yet? We're a fun bunch. :) Come play!
Thanks for stopping by!
Items used but not listed below: SU pink satin ribbon, GinaK white card stock.
you made your own thickers! love it :)
ReplyDeletePiiiiink! I love it. Actually thought the heart was cut out since it matches the background, very cool.
ReplyDeleteMmm, post-massage brain is the best brain -- even if it does lead to pink!
ReplyDeleteMy gracious but that background paper is beautiful, though.
"pink is still the right color. "
ReplyDeleteI hear crickets chirping.
And the earth is tilting.
AND I think there are 4 horses sitting out on my lawn...
I think you might still be sick ;)
I love this card - that fabulous HOPE stack, and Out Of Print pink is a pink I quite like :)
Very pretty, L, with the perfect amount of GAH!
ReplyDeleteThat's very pretty. Sometimes pink just cannot be avoided. I love the DIY Thickers, too, and I am jealous about your very neat knot on the ribbon.
