Hello!

Well, that’s January out of the way. 😀

Here’s the prompt for February:

02 - February pinspiration{Pinterest pin}

And the focus colour is: a pop of pink!

Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Hearts galore – whether in confetti/sprinkle format, as an aperture, on patterned paper, embellishments, dimensional die-cuts, even a heart edge… so many possibilities that you can go full on with the heart theme, or just feature a heart as the finishing touch to a sentiment.
  • Shaker cards – create a shaker window as the main background to your card or cleverly incorporated in multiple openings behind the letters of a sentiment or different shaped apertures.
  • Something sweet – feature chocolates, cupcakes, cake, ice cream or any other sweet treat on your card.
  • Tulips – tulips, crocuses, roses, and hyacinths are a great floral option this time of year and are definitely worthy of the pink treatment.
  • Entwined – use twine on your card to attach an embellishment or to tie a bow on a tag, or even to wrap around a bouquet or gift.
  • Polka dots – the dotty background can be easily interpreted with patterned paper, stencils, stamps, or even embossing folders for a textured effect.
  • Texture – the heart in the top-left corner makes me think of flocking, but also loose glitter. Add a little texture to your card for that tactile feel.
  • On wheels – a car, bicycle, pram, train, camper van, roller boots…. so many possibilities

Happy crafting!
