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!
Hello Crafty Friends! I have a video here for you today and I am so excited to finally get it posted! I shot the video back in February but so many things got in the way; first I was sick, and then I had other work that was under deadline etc etc. So don't mind my allergies and nasal sounding voice; I promise I am ok. This time of year just makes me super congested.
So for the colors for the background: Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon & Chipped Sapphire. I splattered with water, white gold Gansi Tambi starry color & Lawn Fawn's liquid stardust for shimmer.
The copics I used are: E21, E11, E000; C7, C5, C3, C0, B02, B00, B0000, E27, E25, E23, BG72 & BG70! I finished off the card with some Pretty Pink Posh Silver star sequins.
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.
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.
