[Pretty Pink Posh] Fly Away Friends Cards

Hi, there!

Today, I'm sharing a couple of cards using the fun Fly Away Friends Stamp Set by Pretty Pink Posh. I think this has been somewhat underestimated set so it is perfect time to show how it is cute and pretty like other stamps from Pretty Pink Posh.

It has three hot air-balloon images with different size, two cute critters faces, one big airplae that is very cool and lots of fun sentiments!
  Hope you will enjoy them!

[ Card 1 ]

I made a custom cloud stencil by dicutting an acetate film with Stitched Borders 2 Dies, then I ink blended A2 sized Bristol Paper using my cloud stencil. I used regular distress inks : Seedless Preserves, Shaded Lilac , Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick. I mixed 1~2 colors to make various shades when stenciling and then I added splatters of water a little. 

I then stamped Fly Away Friends Set onto 110b Neenah White Paper and colored the images using Copic Markers.

A small balloon image was stamped using a purple dye ink. I then cut the images using Fly Away Coordinating Dies.

To make a shaker frame, I cut Scalloped Frames Dies and Stitched Borders 2 Dies out of 120 Ultrathick White Card Stock. 

In shaker sequins are :  Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix, 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins , 4mm and 6mm Lavender Moon, Sparkling Clear Snowflakes, Mini Circle Confetti, Rose Pink Seed Beads , Pewter Seed Beads, Lilac Seed Beads, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Aquamarine Seed Beads.

[ Card 2 ]

 I made a stamping background using the lovely images fromFly Away Friends Stamp Set. I used Barely Beige ink to make subtle patterns. Then I foam mounted my colored images and adhered the panel onto Peacock Teal Card Base using foam tapes. As a final embellishment, I added some Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix. 

[ Card 3 ]

I made a top-folded card base using 110b Neenah White Paper, then I masked top and bottom of the front panel using post-it sticky note paper. I ink blended the empty space using my mini distess inks : Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio, and Peacock Feathers. Then I splattered water and removed excess water using dry tissue. 

I simply adhered my copic-colored images using foam tapes and stamped sentiments using MISTI tool. The cloud is from Fly A Kite Stamp set. Finshed off thr card by adding Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix. 

Just FYI, Pretty Pink Posh offers 25% sale for this set while supplies last. Have fun!

Enjoy your days!♡

[Simon Says Stamp] June Release - Good Vibes Collection - Strangeness

Hi, crafty friends!

It's the day of the brand new June Release "Good Vibes" by Simon Says Stamp ♡

Today, I'm sharing my cards featuring "STRANGENESS" stamp set. 

I stamped the large bouquet on cold press watercolor paper using my TimHoltz Stamp Platform and Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

I watercolored them using Daniel Smith Watercolor Paints and added splatters of dark ink and white ink.

Sentiment was heat embossed in white using Wow Opaque Bright White Super Fine embossing powder. This fine powder helps you a lot to heat emboss small or thin letters. 

After I foam mounted the panel onto Neenah Desert Storm Card Base, I finished it off by adding 4mm Metallic Rose gold, 6mm Metallic Rose Gold sequins and Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix from Pretty Pink Posh.

The second card was also painted with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I foam mounted the panel onto Island Blue Card Base, and then embellished it using Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix  and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

The Strangeness Stamp Set is such unique in its images and sentiments and I love the quote "There is no beauty without some strangeness".

I was actually inspired by this quote so I added some strangeness in my watercoloring, today. Did you like it?

Thank you for reading this post.
 Happy Shopping !
