Pink & Main - Fun Froggies

 

Hello and thank you for joining me on my blog today to learn how I made this latest card for Pink & Main who recently released some wonderful new products.

My card today features their new stamp set Fun Froggies, I've also used the coordinating die and their new Gradients & Dots Paper Pad.

I started by preparing a panel from Gradients & Dots and glueing it to a white A2 card base.  Preparing this panel meant I had leftovers from the sheet and I used their Floral Banners Dies to die cut greenery but also some flowers using scraps of pastel cardstock in my stash.  I formed a swag at the top of the card front and glued it in place and I also prepared more individual pieces of greenery and blooms for the bottom.

I stamped the images from Fun Froggies that I was needing for the scene I imagined and I coloured with Copic markers:-

Frogs - YG17, YG13, YG61

Blush - RV04, RV02, RV10

Toadstool - RV52, RV10, RV000, E44, E43, E42, E41, E40, W1, W00

Sunflower - E44, E43, E42, Y21 and Y00

Sun - Y21, Y00

Butterfly - RV04, RV02, RV10

I used the coordinating dies to die cut the images which I backed with foam tape and applied to the background.

After the images were applied I then came in with the remaining flowers and greenery and either glued in placed or adhered with foam tape because I love dimension.

I stamped and die cut the sentiment from the stamp set and applied with foam tape and then to just break up the background a tiny bit, I came in with my white gel pen and dotted in some 'pollen'.  Let's face it, there's plenty of that around this time of year lol!

I highlighted some other points on the images and then this card was complete.  Thanks for coming by and happy crafting!

Pink & Main - Critters with Flowers

 

Well hello there!  I am guest designing for Pink & Main today and will have a few cards to share over the coming days.

My card today uses Pink & Main's new stamp set Critters with Flowers which is so sweetly illustrated I simply could not resist working with it.  My card also uses their Floral Banner Sentiments and bunches of flowers seen on the left and right of the scene were created with their Floral Banner Dies.

To kick things off I softly ink blended sky and grass using Speckled Egg and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks.

I then stamped the images in black ink and Copic coloured using the following marker combinations:-

Raccoon - T6, T5, T3, T1, C3, C1, C0

Bear - E87, E44, E43, E42, E41

Bunny - E44, E43, E41, E40

Blushes - R22, R21, R00

Terracotta Pot - E35, E11, E000, YG61

Flowers - B41, Y21, FRV1

Leaves - YG01

I die cut the images using the coordinating dies.  I also die cut using some sprigs of leaves and blooms dies from the Floral Banners Die.  I added colour and glued them in little bunches.

To complete the card, I used a die from my stash to create the border.  I stamped the sentiment and then I added the bear with one layer of dimensional foam tape and the Raccoon and Bunny were added with a double layer creating lots of dimension.

Finally, I tucked the gathered bunches of flowers behind the images, glueing in place and I highlighted a little bit with a white gel pen and adding interest to the grass with Copics YG01 and YG06.

Thanks for stopping by!
