SSS You Are Loved Blog Hop + Giveaway

Happy Friday, crafty friends!
I’m super excited to be a part of the Simon Says Stamp You Are Loved Blog Hop! You Are Loved Release has full of love-themed stamps, dies, and many more!

To create the card, I die cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ rectangle panel from watercolour paper using the Basic Rectangle Die, then slightly trimmed the sides. For a green coloured floral background, I used the Bold Flowers Stamp Set. I stamped flowers & leaves with Evergreen, Willow, and Smoke Gray Dye Inks, then inked up the stamped panel with Crushed Olive, Antique Linen Distress Inks. I added ink splatters here and there.
I stamped the sentiment from the So Loved Set on white card stock using VersaFine Onyx Black, then trimmed it with Stitched Circle Die.
I also die cut the Outline Clustered Leaves from white card stock. Once the background panel was dry, I mounted it on Midnight Green card base using double-sided tape first, and then added all elements as shown in the picture using foam tape.
The Outline Clustered Leaves Die is definitely my most favourite among entire “You Are Loved” release products.

For my second card, I’m featuring So Loved Stamp Set – it’s SO PRETTY!!!
I randomly stamped flowers & leaves on a 4.25″ x 5.5″ watercolour panel using Memento Tuxedo Black Dye Ink, then coloured them with Altenew Artist Markers.

Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Happy Thursday crafty friends!
Welcome to the Altenew Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Zinia Redo’s blog you are on the right track!
Create stunning works of art with the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers! The barrel is filled with water-based color, and coordinates with our line of inks. The flexible, yet sturdy bristles on the brush tip allow you to form both broad and fine strokes. Color can be applied straight from the marker, or diluted with water for a softer look.
For today’s cards, I especially used the Ruby Red, Citrus Burst, Lagoon, and Espresso.

I stamped roses from the Amazing You set on watercolour paper panel using black pigment ink first, and then coloured all stamped images with brand new Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers:
Red roses: Mixed with Ruby Red, Rouge, and Citrus Burst
Dark green leaves: Emerald
Teal green leaves: Lagoon
I watercoloured the stamped image using brush marker first, and then mixed up with water using water brush. Once the watercoloured image was dry, I coloured all edges of each stamped image using brush marker again (as shown in the picture).

Here is another watercoloured red rose card with the Winter Wonderland Watercolor Brush Markers. I stamped a flower cluster from the Forever and Always set on watercolour paper using black pigment ink, watercoloured it, and then die cut it with the Forever and Always die.

Altenew is giving away a $40 gift certificate to six lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by Wednesday, January 16th for a chance to win. Six winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 1/19/2019.

PPP 5th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop + Giveaway

Happy Wednesday, crafty friends!
Welcome to the first day of the Pretty Pink Posh 5th Birthday Celebration (and January 2019 Release) Blog Hop – it lasts for 3 days!! You may be starting the hop here or coming from Thi Lam’s blog and seeing her beautiful cards, either way I hope you enjoy all the fabulous inspiration from the hop!

For my first card, I’m featuring Pinata Party Stamp Set, Cupcake Critters Stamp Set, and Decorative Tag 2 Dies. For my colourful background, I heat embossed cute images from the Pinata Party set on watercolour paper panel in white, inked up the panel with Picked Raspberry, Scattered Straw, Crushed Olive Distress inks, and then added a bit of watercolours.
I die cut arch window from a separate watercolour paper using the Decorative Tag 2 dies, then lightly inked on it with Antique Linen Distress ink. I decorated it with a few Valentine Jewels Mix.
We can open the window, it means we can add something of a surprise inside the window.
Ta-da!! Happy birthday to you! I stamped & watercoloured these cute birthday critters using the Cupcake Critters Stamp & Die Set.
I love the Decorative Tag 2 Dies so much – it’s my most favourite among entire January release products.

For my second card, I’m featuring Crocus Flowers Stamp Set and Scallop Hearts Dies. I stamped flowers & leaves from the Crocus Flowers set on watercolour paper panel using black dye ink – I used Post-It Notes for masking images. I then coloured all stamped images with Faber-Castell polychromos colored pencils.
I applied the Scallop Heart Die over the coloured images, then inlaid all pieces in place as shown in the picture. I decorated the Scallop Heart with small sized Valentine Jewels & Sugar Plum Jewels.

GIVEAWAY!!
Pretty Pink Posh is giving away $25 gift certificates to those NINE people who comment during the blog hop. Plus, PPP is giving away a not-yet-released set for qualifying purchases (while supplies last)!

I then stamped a flower cluster from the Fancy Blooms set on white card stock using black dye ink, coloured the stamped image with alcohol markers, then die cut it with the matching die in the Fancy Blooms die set.
For the sentiment, I used the My Favorite Things to Say stamp set.

For my second card, I randomly stamped flowers & leaves from the Fancy Blooms set on watercolour paper panel using black pigment ink first, and then coloured all stamped images with Liquid Watercolors.

I stamped & loosely watercoloured the Fancy Blooms flowers, added some beautiful Dainty Blossoms on the watercoloured flowers!
