Take ONE Pen Challenge

There's something about the colour red which I adore, apart from having had my hair that colour and wearing the reddest of red lipsticks in the early 80's I opt for tints of the colour now in my 40's :)
Of course, in card making your chosen colours can be as loud and as bright as you want them, setting myself a little challenge for the day to .."Take ONE Pen" and create a card with it. What better colour and pen to use than the Zig Strawberry opaque writer by Kuretake UK.

I was ready to get creative, add a bit of texture to my card and what better way to do it than with my favourite of all........bubble wrap. I have to admit, my mouth waters as soon as I see bubble wrap and the urge to not pop all those little bubbles...well....let's just say the force is strong when in comes to it...lol
Before I could lapse, my pen was scribbled over the top of it and pressed down onto a piece of card.

Look...isn't it such a pretty look, i love it. You can vary the degree of the colour as I have done on the background to the lettering, just blot it a few times before you stamp it down on your card for a lighter shade.

But I didn't stop my "Take ONE Pen" challenge there!!, oh no....I inked up my greetings stamp with it and stamped my greeting...cool eh?

Then I changed the colour of my flat backed gem in the middle of the flower. I used some pretty un-coloured Prima flowers as an embellishment and used my pen on one of them.

I used my pen to colour some of the backing paper, allowing it to tie in with the colour scheme and finally, no card would be the same without a bit of scalloped edged doodling too finish........

my "Take ONE Pen Challenge" completed. :)
