Hello and thanks for viewing my submission for the SCS Limited Supplies Challenge. We were to create a card that had only 2 colors involved, and one of the colors had to be white! I've gotta tell ya...this challenge made my head hurt! After 3 hours of spinning in circles, I came up with this. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I'm glad that it's done ; )
I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder to create the card white background, leaving the middle flat for the sentiment "Wishing You Joy". Then I grabbed SU Bodacious Bouquet and stamped the flowers in Pretty in Pink, cutting them out, embellishing them with either Prismacolor pink pencil & mineral spirits or with white gel pen and lots of "Faith Dots". The upper right Bodacious Bouquet Crocus was "kissed". This technique is really cool...you stamp a background type stamp that has some intricate design with your ink pad, then you take your stamp that you want "kissed", in this case, the Bodacious Bouqet Crocus and stamp it onto your background stamp, then stamp it on your cardstock. I then cut out the "kissed" Crocus and highlighted the edges with Prismacolor pink. The smaller flowers were embellishment flowers from Jolees. I paper-pierced the edges of the card, and finished it with a brass serpentined ribbon slide and pink & white polka dotted ribbon.
So, what do you think of my Bodacious Pink Splash?

WOW! This is totally awesome! I LOVE the colors you used! So soft and pretty... and you used a lot of techniques... no wonder it took 3 hours, but the result is worth it all... it is just lovely! Love the bow and that slide.

What do I think? Well, just let me tell you I think it's bodaciously wonderfu, that's what I think!!! I love how you did the upper half with cb dots; your flowers are amazing, and your piercing is drop dead gorgeous. Now, does this tell you what I really thought? Astoundingly beautiful.

I LOVE your card. You did an awesome job of using only one color with Whisper White. All your embossing and stamping and cutting makes it so very interesting. How did you cuttlebug the dotted swiss on the top and bottom and manage to leave the middle flat for the sentiment? TFS! :-) LM
