Memory Keepsakes ~

.
My first in the Memory Keepsakes series. Have not thought of a name for the collection or the pieces, shall work on it when I’m inspired.
This was rather challenging; I never did thought that the slim box in hot pink was that difficult to work with. I’m quite sad that the silver pink rose-patterned paper looked white in this picture. I guess my photography skills are at best, amateurish. Shall brush up on it soon.
And the lil’ matching bookmark! I love this piece.

Tip: Silver imprints, especially those on a light coloured surface (in this example) will not be noticable in normal light; unless you tilt it at an angle so that the silver catches the light. So as first impressions goes; not a good choice really. The silver imprints and the light pink hues are tangible only upon closer examination.
And I’ve realised that I tend to favour the pinks-maroon colour spectrum in most of my cards so I tend to run of the materials pretty fast. But well, most of my craftwork are more ‘girly’, which doesn’t necessarily equates to pink; but the colours are lovely
purple loves
.
Hours of sheer purple indulgence – from selecting the delightful craft paper with the oriental charm theme; felt material and miscellanous decorative lavender paper; to the rose of a deep violet hue. Hmmm. The rose seems to appear more indigo than violet in the picture though.
Made a lil’ bookmark on a whim; simplicity is lovely.
There concludes my keepsakes-themed 21st birthday cards; in case you didn’t notice, the first was the passionate red.
