Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Celebration- Day 1

Hello, everyone ! Marge here today with you. I’m so pleased to share my two cards using the New Release Products from Pretty Pink Posh. All the new release products are amazing as always, and I’m featuring Birthday Friends Stamp Set and Coordinating dies today.

To begin, I stamped images from Birthday Friends Stamp Set and colored them using copic markers, then die cut them using Coordinating dies.

Then I cut a piece of A2 sized bristol paper, blended it using distress oxide inks (Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio, and Peacock Feathers), then splattered water onto it.

Then I die cut it using Storybook 6 Die, which is also one of a new release products, to make four shaker windows. I used the negative cut pieces as background panel for each shaker. I put mixture of Spring Blooms Sequins Mix, Daffodil Seed Beads, and Lilac Seed Beads into each rectangles .

Then I adhered Birthday Friends Images on the front using foam tapes. I also put a small star tag on the left upper corner of the card using Stitched Stars Dies to give it more cuteness .
 

Final touch was adding some Sparkling Clear Snowflakes Sequins Mix with 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins onto them.

Here goes my second card. To make it, I used Scallop Borders 2 Dies and some fun pattern papers to make festive look.

For the background color, I blended it using Distress oxide ink (Fossilized Amber).

I also stamped heart images from Love Sentiments Stamp Set, sentiment from Birthday Friends Stamp Set. Then I finished it off by putting Party Time Sequins Mix and Northwest Sequins Mix from the new release.

Now I finished two birthday cards.
 ​
I’m also sharing some tips below :
1) For brown hair colors , my favorite copic color combination is : E13-E15-E18- any dark E (from light to dark shades)
2) When you put sequins to make shaker cards, try to mix the sequins with some seed beads like I did today. That will make your shakers look prettier.
3) Although this is not the Christmas season, I found that our snowflake sequins look so well on the soft color-distressed background.
