Chic Pink Birthday Card

There's a brand new challenge up at The Card Concept this week and it's a real beaut.

It's filled with black, white, and cream patterns, a pop of bright pink, and some metallic accents.

See??

As soon as I saw this image, I knew I just had to use this black and cream paper stack from American Crafts that I've been hoarding. 

I plopped down a blob of hot pink acrylic paint and sccchmmmeeeared it with my fingers. Then I added some white and black Distress Spray Stain splatters to messy it up a little bit more. 

I embossed these lovely poppies from the Verve Stamps Poppy Birthday set and colored them in with Distress Markers and a watery paintbrush. 

I added a feather, some small gemstones and stamped sentiment (from the Poppy Birthday stamp set) to complete the look.

I hope you'll all go play over at The Card Concept, where we welcome card styles of ALL types! :)
