Hello with Hummingbird

I'm back today with another card to join another day of Kathy's 30 day color challenge. All the details on her blog, The Daily Marker. Lots of fun. Also, joining again over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge of Layer it Up. 

I couldn't resist but to make another card using these new Hummingbird Thanks stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh and decided to combine it with Pretty Petunias set. 

After coloring these adorable birds, I used the Coordinating dies to help me cut them out. 

Here is the list of Copic color combination is:  

Wing & Head: RV29, RV25, RV21, Y11

Body: B06, B02, B00, B000, also the colorless blender to smooth things over and take away color from the center of the body and ends of wings

Flower: RV29, RV25, RV21

Leaves: G21, G94, G99

For the sentiment, I used the Hello Friend Script die which I cut using black card stock and than clear embossed it three times to give it a glossy enamel look along with some dimension.   

To do this tag, I die cut a tag using the Stitched Duo 1 without the squares and trimmed off the bottom approx 1/4" and added some clouds to it. From there, I added a scallop border using the Stacked Edges 1 using some red card stock. 

Since I wanted just the bottom scallops to show, I cut a strip of black card stock to lay on top.

For the background, I die cut a panel using the Stitched Notes die and did some ink blending using Simon Says Stamp inks along with ranger blending tool.

Colors from top to bottom: Maliblue, Teeny Bikini, Melon, Duckling, Green Leaf.

Last but not least, the Bee Friends set from Pretty Pink Posh has three hearts, so I used the smallest one from the Coordinating die and cut three to add to the black strip and added some 4mm Sparkling clear sequins. 

Added white fun foam underneath the base panel and also added some foam mount tape under the hummingbird and flower.

Hello Friend using Pretty Pink Posh's Latest Release

I'm so excited to play with all of the new stamps, dies, and sequins from Pretty Pink Posh latest release where she is celebrating 4 years and having a three day blog hop starting today. You don't want to miss!! Make sure to check out her blog and join the fun in celebrating. I'll be back tommorrow with another card.

As I was playing around, I had an idea of stretching a border die and using it slightly different. Take a look below at how this card came together.

Before I started on this card, I couldn't resist but to start coloring using this new Pretty Petunias set using my copic markers as all of the flowers are so pretty. Than I grabbed the Coordinating Die to help me cut them out and put it aside. 

For the base card, I pulled out the Stitched Notes die to create a dark blue frame around the card. Next, I grabbed the Stacked Edges 1 collection and ran the slanted horizontal die through cutting machine. 

Here, I pieced the border onto the frame by gluing it down from behind so it wouldn't show the cut edges on the front side. 

Added an acetate sheet onto the back of the frame along with some white fun foam to turn this card into a shaker. For the background scene, I added clouds using a scallop border die from the Stitched Borders 2  collection and did some ink blending using Maliblue ink (SSS).  

Added some fun Mini Sparkling Clear Flowers which I glued down in place before adding in this beautiful new sequins called: Party Time Mix which is filled with Navy, Marigold, Orchid, and Pink Peonies in addition to both 4mm and 6mm.

Lastly, I used the new Hello Friend Script to add to the top and bottom portion of this card. I love the script font....don't you? To pop up the sentiment, I die cut the words twice using white card stock and once again using gold foil cardstock. Stacked all three layers together using glue.

Popped up the flower using foam mount tape and added some white dashes using my white gel pen.  Again, you don't want to miss out on the celebration Pretty Pink Posh is hosting. She is celebrating 4 years!! Check it out on her blog
