Throwback Thursday: Peek-A-Boo
Hello!
I’m excited to be on the PPP blog showcasing some of the fabulous Pretty Pink Posh dies. I love to use my dies in unusual or unique ways and I’ll be stopping in once a month for a new feature called Throwback Thursday. Today I’m using the Peek-a-Boo die that was released last year.
When I was coming up with a design using this die, I could not get the image of Morning Glories out of my mind. (That’s ok if you don’t see it…..just go with it for me!) So, I die cut the Peek-a-Boo die multiple times in a random pattern onto Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock. Using the die image as a guide, I watercolored Wild Honey, Hickory Smoke, and Broken China Distress Inks over the top. I used lots of water to blend out the color so they weren’t so vibrant. Once this panel was completely dry, I adhered it with foam adhesive to a top folding notecard.
For my sentiment, I used a “thanks” die from my stash diecutting it out of Broken China Distress Inked watercolor paper as well. I love that the sentiment extends across my watercolor background! As for those sequins? I had to use my favorite Sparkling Clear sequins in 4mm and 6mm to finish this off!
I’m so excited to have Amy bringing this new feature to the blog once a month. This is a great opportunity for us to showcase an older product, but one that still has so much creative uses!
Along with the great card that Amy has shared with us, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite cards from the design team and guests using the specific product we highlight. Click on the photos below to see the original post from the designers.
Thanks for visiting the blog today!
This is great! Thanks for showcasing older products :) I think we all get caught up in playing with new releases that our stashes get a little neglected! This is just the thing to encourage me give my not-the-latest-thing crafty products some love!
Very cool card. At first I actually saw sand dollars but I see morning glories too after reading it.
LOVE this card!! The watercoloring is so pretty and I love the new way to use this die! TFS!
So clever and gorgeous too! TFS Karen x
This is a great idea I love looking back at older inspiration. Sometimes I forget I have products but worst of all I forget why I wanted to order something and then never do. I hope you keep this throwback idea.
Your card is soooo cute. Thanks for sharing. It is always fun to see olderf PPP goodies used.
Crafty hugs,
