Red and pink? Really!!??

Hi there!

And now for something completely different, lol!  Sometimes I find that the most unlikeliest combinations do actually work and that’s what I found with these red and pink Birthday card makes…
RedAndPink11

They started off as pages in a very thin album but I ended up using the covers as plates and the pages as backgrounds.  Here are the steps and product details…

Handmade doesn’t always have to be complicated or time consuming and I’m a great lover of trying to fit things in in a few minutes of spare time.  These cards are simple but effective and lend themselves well to both these stamps and inky techniques.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great, fun day!
