I received the new Color Cubes this past Christmas and finally tried one out. I replaced the really dark almost-black green with black, which I think makes the colors pop. The black also grounds the pinks so that it doesn't look too Shockingly Pink. I think this color combo is appropriate for my not-very-pinky youngest daughter. She actually prefers Earth Tones, but I thought those colors would be too drab for a Valentine card.
I stamped the cupcake with Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, then colored with Copics and Prismacolor Pencil. The hearts were inked with shades to match the Color Cube selection. I added a few hearts via a stencil and also embossed and inked the center panel.
This card was made using Sketch #720 at Freshly Made Sketches. Love their sketches & all their designer cards!
