July Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Hopped along in Day 1? Be sure to hop along HERE for Day 2!

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh sweet friends!

It’s time to start our two day Product Release Blog Hop for the July 2017 release. Many of you have already placed orders, but for those who were waiting for more inspiration, today and tomorrow the design team and special guests have all sorts of inspiration to share. Today we have Joni sharing a sweet card using the Fly Away Friends stamp set and Fly Away Friends Coordinating Dies.

To begin, I first distressed to white card panel with Tim Holtz Distress inks in Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers. Then die-cut the Twisted Citron distressed panel using the scalloped die from the Stitched Borders 2 Dies. For the second panel after distressing it with Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers. I then splattered it with water for added interest and let it dry.

For more added background effect I used the Uni-Ball Signo Broad White pen to create some white background dots. This helps if you don’t have white watercolor paint in your stash to use for splattering. Next, I stamped the sentiment using the Thoughtful Greetings stamp set.

For the images, I stamped with a brown ink and colored the images with Copic Marker. Then die-cut with its coordinating die-set.

Here’s just the close-up. I adhered my image and scallop piece with foam tape for dimensions. I also added some new upcoming Mermaid Sequins Mix to finish off the card.

Ready to hop along and see LOTS more fabulous inspiration with this release?

  104. I love the balloons! We just went to a balloon fest but because of the wind and where the fest was which was in a big field with no trees or anything around it, we didn’t see any balloons on the ground or going up. We had gone years before and we saw lots of balloons that looked like your card and saw them going up. I love the little critters in them! Those sequins add just the right amount of bling to the card. Great card!
