[Pretty Pink Posh] Cards for School Friends Set

Hi, friends! Today, I'm sharing two cards featuring School Friends set from Pretty Pink Posh, which is a perfect stamp for school & teacher themes. 

To begin, I stamped School Friends on 80lb Neenah White Paper using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink then I colored the images with copic markers. I cut them all using School Friends Coordinating Dies.

I trimmed a piece of Bristol Paper into A2 size (4.24×5.5 inch), then I ink blended it using Distress Oxide Inks - Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber, Squeezed Lemonade, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers from bottom to top.

To give some interesting layout to the card, I diecut the inked panel using Storybook 1 Dies. Among the three windows created by Storybook 1 Dies, two were to for shaker window and one for chalkboard. 

I diecut Storybook 1 Dies out of black card stock again, heat embossed sentiment in white and then I added a little bit of white pigment ink around the edges by just using my fingertip.  To give some dimension to the chalkboard, I layered  4 pieces including the top one. 

In order to make a shaker, background panel was inked with Distress Oxide inks Fossilized Amber and Picked Raspberry. 

I put various Pretty Pink Posh sequins in the shaker which included 4mm and 6mm Ballerina Pink, 4mm and 6mm Raspberry, 4mm Champagne, 6mm Champagne, 4mm and 6mm Lemon Maringue, Cotton Candy Seed Beads , Pewter Seed Beads, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, and Shimmer Gold Seed Beads.

Colored images were then adhered using glue and foam tapes. I put the panel onto Card Base made of 110 Neenah White  then I added Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix as a final embellishment.

For my second card, I diecut 110 Neenah White paper and 100 Schoolhouse Red Card stock using Scallop Borders 2 Dies and adhered them.  Sentiment was heat embossed on Schoolhouse Red Card Stock in white and I diecut it using Mini Tags Dies Set.

I used mini hearts paper from Pebbles Forever My Always  6×6 paper pad as a background panel. To add some lovely mood I added Ivory Twine Ribbon. 

The floor shades were made by copic coloring : E30-E51-E50. After I adhered School Friends images, I embelished the card by adding Metallic Gold Jewels, Buttercream Jewels, and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Now, two cards are finished. Thanks for reading this post.  Did you enjoy it?
