PPP September Product Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!!
Welcome to the first day of the Pretty Pink Posh September 2017 Product Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the Shannon McComb’s blog you are on the right track.

For my first card, I used brand new Autumn Blooms stamp set along with the Thoughtful Greetings sentiment stamp set. The Autumn Blooms set contains small flower & leaf images but we can create a bigger flowers with this set!
I started by stamping small flowers (from the Autumn Blooms set) onto the watercolour panel randomly using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I then freely painted a circle around the middle of each flower using Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw Distress inks and a wet paint brush. Once the watercoloured panel was dry, I stamped leaves (from the Autumn Blooms set) between the flowers, and then coloured them with Mowed Lawn Distress ink and water brush. I added some red & yellow ink splatters as well. It’s not difficult is it?
For the sentiment, I used the Thoughtful Greetings stamp set. I heat embossed the “thank you” sentiment on black card stock in white, trimmed it down, and then put it up on the watercoloured floral panel using foam tape.

For my second card, I used the Stitched Foliage dies and the Angel Friends stamp & die set along with the Giving Thanks stamp set.
I die cut the stitched leaves from watercolour paper using the Stitched Foliage dies, adhered them on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel using glue pen. I then ink blended on it with Spiced Marmalade, Crushed Olive, Wild Honey, Victorian Velvet Distress inks and mini ink blending tool. I roughly brushed the inked leaves with a wet paint brush – Distress inks react with water. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added white ink splatters and a few 3mm clear sequins.
For those adorable angels, I stamped them (from the Angel Friends set) on white card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink, coloured them with Copic markers, and then die cut them with the matching dies. For the sentiment, I used the Giving Thanks stamp set.

For my last card, I used the Angel Friends stamp & die set along with the Winter Wonderland set. Yay! I love Christmas card!!
I heat embossed snowflakes (from the Winter Wonderland set) on watercolour panel in white, and then made a snowy night scene using Peerless watercolors and a wet paint brush. Of course, I added white ink splatters and clear sequins!
I watercoloured all adorable images – angels, eskimo girl, polar bear, igloo – with Peerless watercolors.

Flora & Fauna: Winter Aviary

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
Today I want to share with you my first two Christmas cards for the holiday season this year using the Flora & Fauna Winter Aviary stamp set. I love this set so much!!

Here is what I came up with:
I started by stamping cute birds and branches from the Winter Aviary set on an A2 sized watercolour panel in VersaFine Onyx Black. I then watercoloured the scene with Distress markers and water brush. I coloured the background with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. Once the panel was dry, I stamped the sentiment on the bottom right corner of the panel in black pigment ink (It is coated with Glossy Accents).

For my second card, I repeatedly stamped the images and coloured them with Distress markers.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Altenew: You are amazing

Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!!
I’m up on the Altenew blog with my watercoloured flower card using the Hibiscus Bouquet stamp set. It is a perfect set for watercolouring!
I started by stamping beautiful flowers & leaves from the Altenew Hibiscus Bouquet set on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel in VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I used Post-It Notes for masking images. I then loosely coloured the stamped images with Distress inks and a wet paint brush:
(Large flowers) Picked Raspberry, (Small flowers) Wild Honey
(Leaves) Crushed Olive, (Background) Tattered Rose
I added some ink splatters as well. Once the panel was dry, I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black, and then mounted the panel on white card base using the Altenew glue tape. To finish it off, I added water drops using Glossy Accents.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!!
