November Product Release Blog Hop- Day 2

Check out Day 1 of the blog hop HERE

Hello, Gemma here today and I’m sharing a card featuring Decorative Ornaments– one of my favourite sets from the Pretty Pink Posh November release.

I’ve had fun trying different techniques with this set, including watercolour with zig pens, and embossing on vellum. I love to copic colour images, though, so decided to stamp some images with copic friendly black ink and colour that way. I kept to one colour family on each bauble, to keep the tones similar and let the patterns shine out. Once they were coloured in, I die cut them with the coordinating dies. Then I added some white gel pen and clear glitter pen details.

For this card, I thought it would be fun to revisit a design I made (HERE) with the Bunny Friends stamp set earlier this year. It’s still one of my favourite designs – I love the border of images with a bold colour behind. On the right side of a card base, I added a blend of Chipped Sapphire distress oxide ink, flicking it with some perfect pearls mix for shiny droplet details.

I took another piece of card, not as wide as my card base, and blended on Milled Lavender distress oxide ink. I stamped a greeting from the Penguin Pals stamp set with versafine black onyx ink. I find a pigment black ink is necessary for stamping sentiments over distress oxide ink, as dye ink seems to fade back too much.

I added foam tape behind this panel, then adhered to my card base. I arranged the baubles on to the edge of the panel, using some purple tape to temporarily adhere them together. This makes it easier to add the adhesive in one go – foam tape for the right side where they overhang, and some liquid glue for where they sit directly on the panel. To finish the card, I added some jewels around the sentiment from the new Starry Sky Jewels Mix.
