Leafy Celebration - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Craft Friends! For today I needed a card for a coworker in a more masculine tone. I chose twisted citron distress oxide for the watercoloring in the background. It was just a simple wash. The leaves are from the Hibiscus Flower stamp set by Pretty Pink Posh. The sentiment is from the Simple Sentiments stamp set. I finished it off with a few Spring Green jewels.

Turtle Love - Lawn Fawn

Hello Crafty Friends! Today's card features a mix of old an new Lawn Fawn products. I made this card as a custom request for a coworker. Her boyfriend recently had back surgery and its his birthday. And she just had to have a turtle theme. I hope he loves it!

For the background I used distress oxides. First I took some watercolor paper & wet the whole area I planned for the background to be. I dropped the darker lucky clover around the edges and the lighter twisted citron towards the center. I allowed the water to blend the two together as it air dried. 

For the coloring I used my copics. The Greens are YG13, YG11 YG00 & G17. I added a little E53 & e50 for the edges of the shells and E50 for the bandaid & cake as well. The Frosting is E59, E57, E55. The present is done in Y13 and Y00 along with the candle flame. 

Tropical Birthday - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Crafty Friends! Im here with a new Pretty Pink Posh card. This style is a little outside my comfort zone but I was inspired by a nursery room print I saw on Pintrest. I love how it turned out! I used the sentiment from Everyday Greetings, the leaves from the Hibiscus Flower stamp set & the lion from Party Friends!

A slothy birthday! - Mama Elephant

Hello Crafty Friends! I mean can you even with the Little Sloth Agenda? I couldnt resist. I made my own cover die using the Little Agenda Frames and I love how it turned out!

I started with a pale green cardstock base for this case. I blended on some distress oxide inks in Shabby Shutters for the first layer and then some mowed lawn to deepen the color around the edges. I die cut the rounded rectangle frame from the frame die set into a strip of white cardstock and added my sentiment strip. I have a bunch of these sentiment stripes while heat embossed on black cardstock and it makes finishing off a card so easy! The sloths I had pre colored prior as soon as I get the set because I couldnt resist. The colors are E40, E43, E44 and E47. The green is Yg17 for the leaves and YG23 for the little birthday hat.

Birthday Lion - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Crafty Friends! Who is always running out of birthday cards?! You betcha. I never can have enough on hand. I was super excited for all the birthday stuff in this release to get my birthday card stash built back up. I used the new Party Friends stamp set & Happy Birthday to You script die along with the older Hibiscus Flowers stamp set.

I built this card from the background up. I picked my distress oxide in colors Ripe Persimmons over Dried Marigold. I started with a base of dried marigold about halfway down the card. Then  I layered over the Ripe Persimmons over the top quarter or so of the panel for that nice ombre effect. I die cut the sentiment four times out of white cardstock and layered them together for nice dimension.

I just adore this little lion and had to give him his very own card. I tried for a jungle feel for this. I think my son will love it. I used the large leaf image from the Hibiscus flower set for the background images. For the lions gift box I tried to match my copic colors to my background colors. This is where having a copic coloring chart (I personally recommend Sandy's Copic Hex Chart) comes in handy. The Ribbon is YR07, YR04 & YR02. The box is YR02 & YR00. I did a bit of color layering by giving the ribon a once over with the YR00 to bring a little bit of the peachy color back. The YR07 is very orange. For the Lion I used E55, E53 & E50 on the face and body and his mane is E29, E27 & E25. Leaves are BG78, BG75 & BG72 as well as G05, G02 &G00.

Birthday Surprise! - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Crafty Friends! You know what I never have enough of? Birthday cards! I was really excited to have some birthday specific items featured in this months Pretty Pink Posh release.

I wanted to keep this card ready for anyone so I did a darker teal with orange color scheme. The background is some simple ink blending with distress oxides in Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed. I used the new Birthday Frame die and die cut some plain white cardstock to overlay the background. I also white heat embossed a small sentiment.

The Koala and sentiment comes from the Party Friends Stamp set. I copic colored the Koala using W5, W3 & W1. The teal part of the cake is with BG78, BG75 & BG72. The Candles are BG49 & BG45. The yellow/orange accents are Y38, Y35 & Y13. I love how the teal pops against the orange background.
