CARD INSTRUCTIONS

First, I stamped these cute girls from the Darling Hugs and Darling Celebration stamps with crunchy leaf inkpad, and after a quick heat set I colored them with Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. MG2, MG1, PP2, PP1, FS3, FS1, PV1, HB1, HB2, BT1, BT2, BT3, TB2, TB4, CT1, CT3, CT4, GY3, MB4, MB3, MB2, MB1, FS9, FS7, FS6. For the color comparison charts for brands of Markers visit Kit and Clowder.

Next, I have created my own pastel rainbow patterned cardstock with paper piecing. To achieve this beautiful pastel rainbow look I have trimmed 0.25” x 8.5” sized strips from ColorEssentials Cardstocks in the following shades: Pink Sand, Beeswax, Peridot, Waterfall, Purple Mist. Just a little note, if you like pastel colors like me, then I suggest you to try the mentioned cardstocks, I am sure you will love them!

I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment with the Sugar Coated Sentiments stamp set with watermark ink to a piece of vellum, then I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. When it was done, I created the rainbow frame by using the Sweet Treat Box Dies. What you see around the card is the negative part of the die-cut I have created and you will see that piece in my next project. I adhered the vellum to the frame, then I added clay Sweet Sprinkles inside it and adhered it to my light pink card base made from Pink Sand cardstock and my card was ready.

Pretty Pink Posh May 2021 release Blog Hop + Giveaway

2021-05-05

Hi crafty friends! Welcome to day 3 of the Pretty Pink Posh May Blog Hop! This release is a pure joy so instead of one inspiration I have more in coastal mood. I am really curious which is your favorite so if you have time, please let me know in your comment on my blog.

THIS PROJECT FEATURES

Flower Bouquets Stamp Set with their coordinating dies
Nautical Stamp Set with their coordinating dies
You Are Special Script Die
Pretty Petals Stencil
Stitched Gift Card Holders Dies
For the additional supplies visit the thumbnails below this post.

Do you enjoy this inspiration? I really appreciate if you pin this photo to your Pinterest.

CARD INSTRUCTIONS

The main idea for these cards was to create that coastal mood with boats, anchors and the typical blue, turquoise, brown white coastal color combo. When I saw the Flower Bouquets and Nautical Stamp Sets I already knew that these will be perfect for this mood too.

First I created the backgrounds. I just trimmed them at 0.5" like the white textured wood cardstock to create a wood wall effect or at 0.25 to have stripes in random colors. If you don't like to measure and cut the cardstock all the time, but you love this look, then the Simple Strips Die Set is definitely for you!

For my third card I decided to create a dry embossed background, so I inked up my Pretty Petals Stencil

with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink, and run it through my Die-cut machine with a blue cardstock on the top of Tan rubber mat. The result is a cool dry embossed net looking background. When the backgrounds were done, I styled and layered them in different way. To the third one I created a shaker window as well, the Stitched Gift Card Holders Dies and the leftover die-cut I have used as a layering card.

USED COLORS

The next step was the coloring. I stamped the images from the Flower Bouquets and Nautical Stamp Sets with brown inkpad and colored them with alcohol markers. For the coastal color palette I have used the following colors from Spectrum Noir Illustrators: GY3, CT4, CT3, CT1, CG1, CG2, AG2, GT1, GT2, BT1, BT2, BT3, IB1, IB2, IB3, TN1, FS6, FS9, RB1, RB2, RB3, BG1, Blender. Classique: BG05. For the color comparison charts for brands of Markers visit Kit and Clowder.

When the coloring was done I created the sentiments with heat embossing. I have also created a pretty blue die-cut with the You Are Special Script Die. In the end I styled my cards and put them together.

Thank you so much for stopping by, don’t forget to check this beautiful release, it's truly amazing! And when you support a small business, you support a dream! Enjoy the hop! Hugs, Mona.
