Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Celebration- Day 1
Hello, Gemma here today to share a love themed card featuring lots of fabulous new products from the Pretty Pink Posh January release. Also, we are celebrating day 1 of our three birthday celebration!
I’ve been so inspired by all the amazing slimline card designs I’ve seen and am enjoying creating my own CAS style slimline cards. I wanted to combine the large sentiment from the Love set with the beautiful Large Floral Hearts set, so a slimline card is the perfect dimension for that.
I began by stamping out the images I want to use from the Love set, Large Floral Hearts set, and the Pond Friends set. I coloured all my images with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.
To give my letters and floral heart some dimension, I die cut two extra layers from white card and stacked them behind. This is a great way to get even dimension for your die cuts.
Next, I took a piece of card cut to the same width as my slimline card base, but slightly shorter. I heat embossed a border from the Love Borders stamp set along to lower edge, using a white pearl embossing powder. I love the subtle look this gives.
Before adhering the panel to my card base, I added a piece of white pearl card to show along the lower edge. It’s tricky to capture this in the photo, but I think it gives a lovely finish to the card and matches the embossed border really well.
I used liquid glue to adhere the letters to the card, using the floral heart in place on the V in LOVE. Finally, I added the two swans on the heart, using some foam tape where they sit on the card base.
