Sneak Peek: School Friends
Hello everyone! Alix here as a guest designer sharing products from Pretty Pink Posh upcoming June release. I have been a Pretty Pink Posh super fan for quite a while and I am so honored to start this exciting moment with you.
To begin with my card, I first stamped the images from School Friends stamp set on a piece of cardstock paper and cut them with School Friends coordinating dies. Then I colored them with my trusty copic markers and set aside.
I wanted the have the main focus on my shaker window, so I decided to keep the card base almost pure white. For inked background, I ink blended background using distress ink oxide in Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral and Candied Apple, then I stamped sentiment that comes with this stamp set with some Watermelon Jewels to embellish.
To create the shaker window, I cut the frame for 5 times using the Scallop Ovals, then I glued 4 of them together sandwiched with a piece of acetate paper and the last frame die cut. Before I closed up the top, I poured some Iridescent Mini Star Confetti and 3mm Sparkling Clear Sequins. When its ready, I attached the window onto a A2 base card front.
I arranged all colored images around the window using glue and double sided foam squares to create some dimensions. At last, I scattered 4mm Sparkling clear sequins and 6mm Sparkling clear sequins onto the bottom of this card.

When you are holding a cute and lovely stamp set, there is no way that you could only make one card. So this second card idea came up very quickly. The scene I wanted to create is that a nerdy boy who likes to bury himself in a library with tons of book. A shy girl who had crush on him expressed her feeling with full courage.
I started to ink blended distress oxide in Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio onto a piece of watercolor paper. I sprayed water over inked background and removed all wet spots with a piece of paper towel. When it dried, I splattered a mixture with ink and water over upper portion of background to add some interest.
While I was waiting for background to dry completely, I cut my white frame using the Scallop Frames and I popped them up using double sided foam squares to create dimension. I did my pick and choose for the best images to create my ideal scene and colored them with copic markers. Then I arranged them inside of the frame I created.
I stamped sentiment that comes with this School Friends Stamp set with very black dye ink since my background is in slightly darker color. I also stamped mini hearts around them and added 1/4″ Iridescent star confetti to create lobe sparkles between them.
