Sea Friends - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Crafty Friends & greetings on this Memorial Day. I have a non Memorial day card for you but its still a wonderful card to send to those you a missing today especially on days like today.

For this card I started with the background which is a three color blend with distress oxides. I used with Tumbled Glass, then Peacock Feathers and finished with Mermaid Lagoon. Then I took out my Waves Stencil, sprayed the back with some pixie spray & then placed it on top of my blended background. I took the same Tumbled Glass oxide ink and blended that over the first 2/3rds of the card. For the bottom I switched  to the Peacock feathers over the Mermaid Lagoon giving the whole thing more ombre effect. I love how it turned out!

I took a clue from my friend and fellow Pretty Pink Posh team mate Gemma with her recent post on copic color combos using this darling starfish from Sea Friends. I used some of my favorite pastel colors on these. For the Orangy Peach I used YR02, YR00 & R000; the pink one is R20, R11, R00 with a light coat of RV00 over the whole thing (glazing techniques are fun and can expand your color palette) Lastly I used Y02, Y000 for the yellow. The dolphin I used N6, N4, N2 & N0. Of course I finished the whole thing with sparkling clear sequins to act as my bubbles!

Thank you for stopping by!

Quick Cards in a Hurry! - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Crafty Friends!

We have all been there, inevitably we have a function or event and we have run out of cards! This happens to me a lot no matter how many I try and keep on hand. This is especially why I love stencils for a quick but impactful card. These new layering stencils are absolutely awesome for that! They look like they took quite some time but really come together in a flash.

This first card is done with the Layered Hearts stencil. First I put down a light layer of  Spun Sugar distress oxide down 2/3rds of the card for a nice fade out. My first heart layer I used Worn Lipstick and then Abandoned Coral. For a sparklie finish I used some of the Friendship mix sequins.

This card is using Layered Birthday Stencil. I love how these look together, like a party on a card! I started with a light layer of Cracked Pistchio distress oxide. The Banners stencil layer I did in Peacock feathers and lastly I did the Balloon Layer in Mermaid Lagoon. While inkin the stencil I used less and less pressure and ink the farther down I went until it fades off to white. I did the same above with the hearts. Lastly I stamped the sentiment with the same Mermaid Lagoon ink on some pearl vellum which is attached behind the card front to keep it in place. The sparkle detail on this one comes from the Caribbean Blue Jewels which happen to be my favorite. Im going to do these in a bunch of colors to keep on hand. (And hopefully not have to do more last minute!)

And a Happy New Year! - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Crafty Friends! Back with some more Pretty Pink Posh inspiration for you today. You know how much I love ink blending over stencils so today's post shows another new one, the Fireworks Stencil.

For this one I started with an ombre blend from the darkest to the lightest. I then laid my stencil over the inked background and blended on the lightest color again through the stencil so it appears to fade as it goes down the background.

I embossed the sentiment and the glasses from the new Happy New Year stamp set in liquid platinum embossing from ranger. I lightly colored in some champagne with copic markers.

To finish off the card and add some extra bling I used Sparkling Clear sequins & jewels in Caribbean Blue.

Distress Oxide Inks:
Broken China
Mermaid Lagoon
Blueprint Sketch

Copics:

Its Almost Pumpkin Time! - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Crafty Friends! I have a quick card to share with you all today. Just lots of my favorite thing, Ink blending! I used the new Stencil from Pretty Pink Posh Pumpkin Background Stencil and a simple sentiment from the Fall Signs stamp set. Perfect to let someone know you are thinking of them and grateful for their kindness. I added some Raspberry Jewels to finish off the card.

I used all my orange distress oxide inks on this one; Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber & Dried Marigold. I used the Pixie Spray on the back of my stencil to hold it down and then used a blender brush for my oxides. The sentiment is white heat embossed on black.
