Sending Flowers to a Special Amazing Person

Back in gear and with another card today as I meant to share this weekend but after she received the card. Also, joining over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge of Girl Power 

Once again, I'm using this beautiful Spring Flowers set from Simon Says Stamp and coloring with my Polychromos pencils and embossing powder to create this card. I really do enjoy coloring with pencils. 

For this card, I used my Misti tool again to help me when it came to embossing directly over the image after I colored the flowers and leaves. Here, I decided to use a lighter blue card stock and see how the colors would look on it as I never know when using colored card stock.

For the sentiment, I decided to pull out the You Matter stamp set along with the "You" wafer die from Simon Says Stamp as I like the font and size. 

Last but not least, added some 4mm Metallic Gold sequins along with a couple of small clear droplets over the little flowers.

Let me know if you would like for me to start adding the colors used for the Polychromos pencils so I can make note of them when posting. 

Pretty Pink Posh Announcement and Design Team

Today, Pretty Pink Posh is announcing the PPP Design Team members for the next term and I must say I'm beyond excited and feel truly blessed to be able to work with Paulina and her amazing talented team since she is not only kind hearted and generous, but a fabulous amazing and wonderful person to work with. 

Today I created this Thank you card using the Wild Rose stamp set along with the Thank-you Script die from Pretty Pink Posh 

Once again, instead of coloring them with my Copic markers, I decided to emboss the images using white powder from Ranger and use inks to color them in. 

For this card, I used some of my favorite ink colors from Simon Says Stamp. To apply the ink onto the paper, I used ranger's foam blending tool. 

For the leaves, I used Jellybean and Green Leaf
Flowers: Teeny Bikini, Maliblue with Audrey Blue, and Melon with Coral Reef

To add a decorated border, I used one of the Scallop Borders 2 dies and laid it down as a slanted curve before die cutting. Than I added some foam mount underneath to pop it up above the black and white strips.

Before adding the  Thank-you Script die down, I dipped the words into a VersaMark pad and added clear embossing powder over it. Repeated the process three times to get a glossy look on the words itself. 

To finish off the card, I added some 4mm Sparkling clear sequins. 

With the reopening of the shop and the new announcement of design team members, Paulina is having a $100 gift certificate giveaway that you can check out Here on her blog!

Sending Thank-you with Flowers

I’m having lots of fun playing with colors, stamps, dies, and sequins and wanted to share another card I created using these amazing products from Pretty Pink Posh  Also, joining in the challenge with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge with Anything Goes theme week.

This Bold Blooms set is fantastic and so much fun to play with. I kept stamping several flowers using different colors. Plus, the Coordinating Die comes in so handy when you want to add one more leaf and/or one more flower. 

Once again, I'm using these awesome Scallop Hexagon Dies to create the shaker portion of the card. Since the Stitched Hexagon Dies fit perfectly with these dies and look awesome combined, I used them both. 

Therefore, I started out by using the largest size from the set along with blue card stock to use as my base. 

From there, I worked on the shaker portion of the card by using the mid-size dies from both, Stitched and Scallop Hexagon dies.

I love all of the latest new sequin colors so I combined 4mm Navy, Mini Sparkling Clear flowers and 4mm Champagne.  

Once I saw this Thoughtful Greetings set, I fell in love since it has fabulous sentiment sayings along with the combination of large and small fonts. Therefore, I decided to split one of the sayings to use a portion inside the shaker and the other portion on the bottom of the card with white embossing powder. 

To add a decorated border, I used one of the new Scallop Borders 2 dies and laid it down as a slanted curve before die cutting.

At the end, I added some foam mount under the little flowers and leaves to pop them up.

Giving Thanks with Lots of Sparkles

Here is another card using this adorable Giving Thanks set from Pretty Pink Posh and decided to create a thank-you card using non fall colors and do some water coloring for the background to join another day of the color challenge over at the The Daily Marker  

Started off by creating this background by using some water color paper and two Tombow Dual Brush markers with a blue and green. Added strips of color by alternating the two and added some water to blend the colors together.

When it was all dry, I took several leaf images from this set, big and small, and randomly added to the background using VersaMark ink along with some white embossing powder. I love the contrast of these white leaves against the colored background.

Moving onto the shaker portion, I used a 2 5/8" circle die and placed on the upper portion of the card and ran it through the die cutting machine. From there, I die cut the smaller Scallop Circle from Pretty Pink Posh to add over the opening to add a decorate look. 

   

For the inside of the shaker, I added some pink clouds by doing some ink blending using Spun Sugar distress ink and added some Silver Mini Stars Confetti which I glued down in place before adding this amazing new Winter Sparkle sequin mix which has an array of purple shades and iridescent sequins as well. Love it!  

Finally, added this adorable little beaver from the Giving Thanks set using some foam mount tape to finish off this "Thank-you" card. Also, used the Coordinating Die to help me cut out this cute little beaver.
