Pretty Pink Posh Shop

Hi friends, it’s Suzy. It’s Halloween week here on the Pretty Pink Posh blog, so I get to share some of my Halloween cards with you.  My first card uses the brand new Halloween Pals stamp set and my second card uses the Trick or Treat Friends set from last year. Here are the cute images all colored from the Halloween Pals stamp set.

As an early Halloween treat during theme week, we’re having a 15% sale on all items in the Halloween category. No coupon necessary. 

I colored these images with Copic Markers and then shaded them with colored pencils.

Both of my cards use the same technique of creating backgrounds for cards with watercolors. I made my cards with watercolor paper and used popular PPP dies on both. I used a wet on wet watercolor technique to allow the color to run outward from the die-cut openings for the backgrounds.

For this card, I used the Stitched Pieces die for the background. I then applied lots of water to the edges of the openings and painted the edges with orange watercolors. The color ran outward where I had applied the water. I splattered some orange paint with my brush over the background as well.

I stamped the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Halloween Pals stamp set with black ink in the center opening. I then adhered the cute little critters and jack-o-lanterns from the stamp set over the top and bottom opening. I also used a pumpkin from the new Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp set.

I added some Black Nuvo Drops around the images to tie in the black color from the sentiment. I also added some jewels in Espresso and Pearl White.

This card uses the cute images from the Trick or Treat Friends stamp set. I used the Window Frames die for the background of the card. I applied water to the edges of the die-cut area again. I then applied orange paint to the top and black paint to the bottom as the “ground”. I splattered some additional orange watercolor on the background with my brush.

I colored all of the stamped images with Copic Markers and then added details and shading with colored pencils. I adhered the images to the bottom of the card creating a scene. I stamped the sentiment with black ink in the opening. To finish off the card I added jewels in Amethyst and Spring Green.

Thanks for visiting today and Happy Halloween to all of you!

Welcome back to Day 2 of Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Theme Week. Alix here is having fun with you during this exciting event. Halloween is always one of my favorite holidays because I could dress up whatever I would like to.

As an early Halloween treat during theme week, we’re having a 15% sale on all items in the Halloween category. No coupon necessary. 

I pulled out my old and new Pretty Pink Posh Halloween stamp collections and decided to build a night theme. First of all, I Copic colored images from Halloween Pals stamp set and Halloween Friends Stamp set and cut them by hand or coordinating dies. I set them aside and I started to prepare the background. I ink blended onto a piece of watercolor paper in A2 size using Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Distress ink in Black Soot. Then I splatted some water over the surface and quickly removed all liquid using a piece of paper towel. Once it’s dry, I splattered white watercolor paint by tapping toothbrush bristle to create a night sky with thousands of stars.

Most of critters should stand on a hill in my mind (except that cute bear with wings), so I die cut two borders using Stacked Edges 1 Dies and ink blended with Distress ink in Black Soot. I assemble everything onto the background using Multi Medium Matte and Foam squares. I used a white gel pen to create some of details in the background such as the stars, wind or on these cute critters.

I stamped the sentiment using versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder. At last,  I embellished the background with jewels in Midnight Black and 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card for the Halloween Theme Week here on the blog. My card features some great products from the September release – Halloween Pals and Fall Tags.

As an early Halloween treat during theme week, we’re having a 15% sale on all items in the Halloween category. No coupon necessary. 

I began by working on the background. I cut a piece of dark grey card, then used the jack o’lantern face die from the Fall Tags set to die cut some faces from it.

On a card base, I layered some orange patterned paper, leaving a thin white border. I heat embossed in silver the sentiment and some stars from the Halloween Pals stamp set onto the grey card panel. Then I used lots of foam tape to adhere it over the top of the orange background. This thin layer of foam helps to create some fun shadows from the die cut faces.

Next, I stamped some images from Halloween Pals, and used copics to colour them in. After die cutting them out with the coordinating dies, I used paper piecing to add some patterned paper details to their outfits, bringing everything together in the design. To do this technique, stamp the portion of the image you want onto patterned paper, then fussy cut them out. Go around the edges with a black pen, to get rid of any white edges from the fussy cutting, then adhere them on your die cut images.

I added the pumpkins and critters to my card to finish this fun Halloween project.

I hope you enjoyed! Join us tomorrow for another day of cute Halloween inspiration! 😊

 

I began by stamping the images in black, then colouring them with my copic markers. I looked online for some colour combinations – pansies come in so many lovely colours! I decided to go with a bright colour scheme of purple and yellow, and used the following copic markers: BV02, V15, V17, Y00, Y11, Y15, Y17. One tip, if using these colours, is to be careful not to blend them together as the purple and yellow colours can get a bit muddy if you do.

For the background, I chose a piece of patterned paper to complement the yellow in my flowers. From a piece of white card, I die cut one of the the Window Frames die, then layered the panel on the card base with foam tape.

To bring in some more purple to the background, I used the Twine and Bows die set to cut some purple glitter paper, adding them underneath the window frame for a pretty accent on the card.

I layered the flowers and leaves onto the card with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape, where they overlapped the window. The floral cluster image included in this set made arranging the flowers on the left side so quick and easy as it’s already done for you!

I added a die cut sentiment from black card, using the ‘for you’ from the newly released Thankful For You Script. I stacked three layers of the sentiment so it had some dimension. To finish, I added some jewels in marigold and pansy purple – the perfect embellishments for this bright happy card!

I hope you were able to get your STAMPtember set. I’m sure it’s going to sell out quickly!

Hi, Friends! This is Caly and I’m here today to share a project using the new, limited edition stamp set by Pretty Pink Posh for Stamptember!  We are so excited about this set and hope that it will inspire you to create wonderful projects! Paulina asked me to make something bold for today and here’s my take on that!

I stamped and colored these blue pansies using Copic markers.  The colors used are Y13, Y17 (flower centers), B21, B24, B26, B29 (pansies), and YG07, YG09 (leaves).  Once I was done coloring, I fussy-cut the images and added white gel highlights using my Sakura Gelly Roll pen.  I also added Nuvo glitter drops in Honey Gold in the center of the flowers for added interest.

For the pack panel, I ink blended Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink, concentrating from the center and blended out for a softer edge.  To give it more interest, I added some water splatters to remove color and give the panel some texture. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment in white, over black cardstock, using a sentiment from the Birdie Friends stamp set.  To complete the look, I added Pearl White Jewels to give the card a more elegant and refined look.

The other designers have been creating with this stamp set and will be sharing them in blog posts and/ or on social media.

These pansies were so fun for me to color because it really challenged me to shade in different areas to make it look more realistic.  In another life, I would love to be a florist – I have a weakness for flowers and am so excited that this year’s Stamptember set is a floral set!  Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed this project!
