PPP March Product Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
Welcome to the second day of the Pretty Pink Posh March 2018 Product Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the Alix Davis’s blog you are on the right track.

To create the card, I stamped flowers & leaves (from the Cherry Blossoms stamp set) and the sentiment (from the Encouraging Greetings stamp set) on watercolour paper panel in black pigment ink. I then lightly coloured the stamped images with watercolours and a wet paint brush. I added red ink splatters.
For the sparkly rainbow, I stamped it from the Best of Luck set on white card stock using Memento Desert Sand dye ink, die cut it with the coordinating die. Once the watercoloured panel was completely dry, I mounted the panel on top-folded kraft card base using double-sided tape, adhered the stamped rainbow die cut above the sentiment, and then added Jewels on it using fine tip glue pen.
I love these new sparkly Jewels so much!!

For my second card, I created a messy watercoloured flower card with the Cherry Blossoms stamp set. I stamped flowers and leaves on watercolour panel using Antique Linen Distress ink first, and then coloured them with Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn, and a bit of Wild Honey Distress inks. Next, I brushed over the coloured images with clean water – Distress inks react with water!
Once the floral panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape, and then added details of the images using 0.05mm Copid multiliner, white ink splatters.

For my last card, I am featuring the Cherry Blossoms set and the Stacked Edges 2 die. I die cut 4 diamond stripes from watercolour paper using the Stacked Edges 2 die first, and then inked stripes with Distress inks and round ink blending tool.
For a cluster of flowers, I stamped & watercoloured them, then die cut them with the Cherry Blossoms coordinating dies. I added Jewels for finishing touches.

GIVEAWAY!!
There are 4 $25 gift certificates up for grabs (two winners each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 3/12/2018. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

My cards today, I am featuring the Forever and Always and the Happy Bloom sets – These two flower sets are truly gorgeous!!
For my first card, I made a watercolour flower card with the Forever and Always stamp & die set. I stamped a flower bouquet onto watercolour paper in pigment black first, coloured it with watercolours, and then die cut it with the matching die. I watercoloured the background panel with shades of pink.
I mounted the watercoloured panel on Spicy Yogurt card base using glue tape first, and then all elements as shown to card front using foam tape.
I stamped the sentiment from the Forever and Always set inside the card in black. Oh, that sentiment is so romantic!!

For my second card, I used the Happy Bloom stamp set. I stamped flowers & leaves randomly onto white paper panel in black dye ink. I then coloured the background with the Artist Markers Set A: (from light to dark) Sea Glass, Ocean Waves, Desert Night. For the stamped flowers & leaves, I coloured them with polychromos pencils.

Pretty Pink Posh Turns 4!

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!!
Welcome to the third and last day of the Pretty Pink Posh 4th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop! You may have just arrived here from amazingly talented Mindy Baxter.

For today’s card, I’m featuring the new Pretty Petunias, Hummingbird Thanks, and Love Sentiments sets.
As many of you already know that Ultra Violet is PANTONE® colour of the year 2018! Honestly it isn’t my favourite colour, BUT.. Pretty Petunias set told me to use that to my card! :D
I stamped petunias (from the Pretty Petunias set) and hummingbird (from the Hummingbird Thanks set) on watercolour paper using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink, coloured them using mixed with Derwent inktense colored pencils and Seedless Preserves Distress ink. Before mounting all watercoloured images, I ink blended on the bottom left corner of the card base using Seedless Preserves Distress ink.
Look at the hummingbird! Oh, it is so lovely!!

GIVEAWAY!!
We’ll be giving away 2 $50 gift certificates to random comments left on the different stops every day! That’s right, we’re giving away a total of SIX $50 gift certificates!

Altenew January 2018 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to the Altenew January 2018 Release Blog Hop! Here are the new and (of course) fabulous products we have in January!! If you arrived here from Erum Tasneem’s blog you are on the right track!

For my first two cards, I used the Creative Edges: Lace die and the Rose Flurries 3D die set. As soon as I saw the Rose Flurries 3D, I completely fell in love with it! I’m sure you’ll like it, too.
I die cut A2 sized rectangle panel from white card stock, then die cut from the right side of the panel using brand new Creative Edges: Lace die. For the flowers, I die cut them from coloured card stocks using the Rose Flurries 3D die set, then made a bunch of flowers.
For my second card, I used glitter gold flowers on navy card base!! It’s simply beautiful and elegant!

The new sentiment “Thinking of You” die is so gorgeous!! First, I made a floral background using the Flower Arrangement stamp set. Next I die cut the “Thinking of You” from the centre of the stamped panel. I stacked 4 other die cuts under the stamped sentiment cut using fine tip glue pen. After mounting, I lightly coloured the sentiment with Tattered Rose Distress ink and water brush.

In December, we have 14 brand new stamp sets & matching die sets, 2 stand-alone die sets and..ta-da! new Mini Blossom Die Cutting Machine!!

I die cut “Thank you” sentiment from white card stock using the Flower Arrangement die set. It’s a beautiful and trendy script font!

For my second card, I used the Peony Spray stamp set – I love this set in particular!
