Brave Lion - June Pretty Pink Posh Release Blog Hop

Hello Crafty Friends! Its that time again, a new release from Pretty Pink Posh! This June release is just chock full of amazing stamps, dies & stencils. Its absolutely fantastic! You definitely need to check out the whole release HERE and probably save yourself some money and just order the whole bundle, ha!

For today's card I am featuring the Zebra from Jungle Friends, the grass from our Nature Essentials Dies and a sentiment from the new Simple Sentiments stamp set. I did simple two color blends with my copics for the zebra to make him a bright and fabulous Rainbow! 

Red: R20, R11

Orange: YR04, YR02

Yellow: Y13, Y00

Green: G02, G00

Blue B02, B00

Purple/Indigo: BV04, BV01

Black stipes: N10, N8

I inked one of the grassy boarders from the essential dies with some cracked pistachio distress oxide and cut it down to just wide enough for him to be standing in some grass so the image is grounded on the card. A simple black sentiment on a while sentiment strip really stands out against the black of the background.

Be my Galentine? - Avery Elle

Hello Crafty friends! As much as I love Valentines or Love themed cards I was absolutely head over heels for the additional sentiments included in this Cupids set from Avery Elle that was designed by Elena. Perfect for any friend or for a gal pal on Galentine's day!

I found some light pink cardstock in my stash that was just a few shades lighter than my worn lipstick distress ink. This time it is ink, and not oxide. I used a regular foam blending tool and brought the Worn Lipstick in around the edges to create a spotlight effect. I then splattered the whole panel with white paint. I kept it heavy around the edges. 

Cupid, the birds and the little cloud I colored with Copics.  I wanted a little redheaded cupid (because I'm a redhead!) So I used some YR24, YR21 & YR30 for the hair. The skin is E11, E00 & E00 with a few dots of YR24 for freckles above his nose. I added a little R11 for the cheeks and white pen details. The wings are outlined with a touch of N2 and the birds, cloud, cupids undies and arrow are all done with R20, R11 & R00 and a light glaze of RV00 over top to try and match the background a bit more since Rs are more on the peachy side. I white heat embossed the sentiment on some black cardstock. Lastly I added a little silver confetti heart to the cloud.

Feathered Friend - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Crafty Friends! Today I decided to do some heat embossing and ink smooshing. I recently picked up the Peacock Friends stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh and I had this idea brewing in the back of mind my for a while. I white heat embossed the feathers all over some watercolor paper in a random pattern. Once embossed I smooshed some Distress Ink (not oxides!) on my easy clean mat. I used Peacock Feathers (obviously had to!) Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio and lastly Wilted Violet. I then used a few copic markers in similar colors to highlight the feathers and make them stand out from the background. I white heat embossed the sentiment as well on some black cardstock.

Distress Ink:
Mermaid Lagoon
Peacock Feathers
Cracked Pistachio
Wilted Violet

Copics:
BG13, 10
BV01, 0000
