School Friends - Pretty Pink Posh

We're fast approaching that time of year when special teachers in our children's lives need to be thanked and with that in mind I created this card using School Friends by Pretty Pink Posh.



For this card I ink blended a background panel using Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar and Cracked Pistachio then distressed it by splashing with water and blotting that up.  The panel was then die cut to provide a simple faux stitched edge and applied to the card base.

Next step was to die cut the Thank You Script Die four times from 110lb white cardstock and adhere them altogether  to make a nice dimensional sentiment which in turn was adhered to the panel.

For the frame that highlights the little girl student I adapted the largest of the Stitched Photo Frames Dies using a craft knife.  I back it with dimensional foam tape and set it to one side for a few minutes.

On Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped my images with Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil and watercolour painted them using Kuretake Zigs in Flesh Colour, Pale Pink, Light Pink, Blue Gay, Oatmeal, Dark Brown and Green Shadow and afterwards highlighted some points with a white gel pen.



These images were die cut and applied to the scene with foam tape and then I was able to also apply the frame at a fun angle around her so as to spotlight her and her achievements.

The card was adorned with little pink hearts die cut from the heart included with the coordinating dies for School Friends and some toning jewel embellishments also by Pretty Pink Posh.

Thank you for coming by to read - see you next time!
