April Product Release Blog Hop- Day 1

Check out Day 2 of the blog hop HERE

Hi, everyone! Marge here sharing a graduation card with the cute critters featuring the brand new April Release from Pretty Pink Posh.

I started by stamping Congrats Grad Stamp set and Animal Signs Stamp set on Copic friendly paper using Memento Black Ink, then I colored the images using my Copic markers. Then I cut them all using Congrats Grad Coordinating Dies and Animal Signs Coordinating Dies, added white details using a gel pen, and set them aside.

To make a background, I ink blended a piece of Bristol paper with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade, and Crushed Olive. Then, I placed the brand new Graduation Stencil onto my panel and applied moonstone glimmer paste through the stencil on the top part of the panel and let them dry.

I diecut Congrats Script Die out of white card stock twice, colored the top surface with Copic Markers and glued them together using Multi Medium Matte.

I used colors of E49-E47-E44 for script die-cuts. Before assembling a card, I chose cheerful sentiments to be inserted on the blackboard from Animal Signs Stamp set, School Friends Stamp set, and Bear Hug Stamp set and then I heat embossed them in white on each blackboard the critters are holding in their hands.

Now it’s time to assemble all the pieces together into a card! I adhered the background panel onto a card base, then I glued Congrats Script die cut on the top, and then I added cute critters with hats using Glue Dots and Foam Adhesives,  I also put eyeglasses from School Friends stamp set on the koala, which made the whole scene look so fun! As a final embellishment, I adhered Shamrock Jewels and Lemon Drop Jewels around the scene and finished off my card.

Main colors of Copic Markers I used are warm gray for the koala, cool gray for elephant, neutral gray for a black hat, BV08-V09-V06-V04 for purple hats, G29-G28 for blackboards, Y38-Y35 for yellow points, and R29-R22-R14 for red points.
