This week's Blogger's Challenge Friday theme is a color challenge using pink and brown. This is a color combo that I happen to love, even though I go back and forth on whether or not I actually LIKE the color pink. Today, I think I like it.
I used a couple of images from the new set from Hanna Stamps called Celebrations to make this little 4x4 valentine. I think I might just wear these lips OUT! They're just the right size, and oh so cute! You can see them on the pink layer, but they're really tough to see where I stamped them on the cocoa brown layer. I colored the champagne glasses with Copic markers. I like the blend of the pinks from light to dark - it looks fruity and sweet! The xoxo is stamped with Karen Foster Snap Stamps which were VERY popular early last year. It's a shame they stopped making them. They're GREAT!
Happy Friday!
I like the card, the design is great for an anniversary too.

Anna .... I remain in awe of the way you can stylize a simple image, and add "just enough" to make it appear to be an elegant concoction! Ahhhhhhh!

I love what you did with your lip stamps, and the glasses! It is great. I feel inspired to use those lips, they work so well in so many things.

I love pink and brown together! Love the card. Simple, but very crisp and clean looking! The lips are cute and darn it, I wish I had gotten some of those snap stamps. Never did. Now I wish I had!

Your card is lovely! I love pink and brown together even though I'm not a big fan of pink. The combo is timeless though.
