Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!!
Welcome to the first day of the Pretty Pink Posh July 2017 Product Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the Crystal Thompson’s blog you are on the right track.
I have two summer-themed cards to share with you today using the new Summer Friends stamp set along with other PPP products – I think some of you might already see these cards on the PPP blog before.
I started by stamping sandcastle, beach ball, bucket from the Summer Friends set on watercolour paper in black pigment ink. I then watercoloured them with Distress markers, die cut them with the Summer Friends coordinating dies. For the beach scene, I created clouds using the Stitched Borders 2 dies (I used the scallop border die as a stencil), sandy beach using Distress markers, then trimmed the paper down using stitched rectangle panel die in the Stitched Notes die set. For the sentiment, I used the Summer Friends and the Camping Friends stamp sets. I mounted the background panel on pale blue card base using double-sided tape first, and then added images on it using foam tape.
For my second card, I stamped all images from the Summer Friends set on watercolour paper in pigment black ink, then coloured them with Distress markers. Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut it with an A2 sized rectangle panel die. For the sentiment, I heat embossed it on blue card stock in white, then cut the small banner. I mounted the watercoloured panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment banner on the bottom right corner of the card front using foam tape.
