A Very Pink Holiday - Pretty Pink Posh

 Hello Crafty Friends! Today I have a slimline card featuring Penguin Pals from Pretty Pink Posh. These are one of my absolute favorite sets from Paulina. I am using non traditional colors here in this holiday card with the pinks, light greys and mint. 

The background was mostly Spun Sugar distress oxide with a hint of Picked Raspberry on the edges. The snow flakes were also done in the Picked Raspberry but I stamped it off first before going to my project. The penguins are stamped in River Rock ink from Lawn Fawn and colored using copics. They are C3, C1 & C0 on the bodies. The white on the mug and hats were done with N2 & N0 with a little colorless blender for smoothing the edge. The pink is R81, RV11 & RV00. The mint on the trees is G00 & G000 and E31 for the trunks. Lastly the light blue on the scarf is BG10 and BG000.

Thanks for stopping by!

Get Cracking on Christmas - Blog Hop

My good friend Jenn Shurkus (Shurkus.com) has been doing the Get Cracking series for several years. Each month on the third Thursday she will be posting new inspiration and hopefully encourage you to get Cracking on Christmas!

This month we are getting in on the new Hero Arts Stay Crafty Challenge #staycraftywithhero Every week they have a new theme to help us stay motivated and get our craft on!

On that note I am creating today using Hero Arts products. Today's card features the Build a Tree set.



For this card I started by stamping the pine branches in Pine Needles distress oxide ink and the berries in festive berries of course! I took a green card front that matched well with the ink and used distress inks this time to blend first with Pine needles and then with chipped sapphire to darken the edge. To add the snow I used Gansai Tambi Starry Colors in the color  white gold. Because of the dark background I decided to stick with a white banner for contrast and I stamped out the sentiment from the same stamp set in black ink. I added a bit of sparkle to the berries with diamond stickles. And done! Simple but elegant & great for mass production for the holidays!
