Piñata Party - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello!

Today, I have another card using product from the latest Pretty Pink Posh release.  This is Piñata Party!  Keep reading to find out how I made it.


To make this card I prepared an A2 panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock and ink blended a large focal point using Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar.  I stamped the sentiment using Versamark Ink and heat embossed in silver.  I determined the centre point of the card and using silver gel pen and a ruler I drew a line down the centre of the card to just above the sentiment to act as the string from which the piñata is 'suspended'.



On more Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped my images from the stamp set using more Versamark Ink and heat embossed them all in silver again.  I then watercolour painted the images delicately using the following Kuretake Zig colours - Light Violet, Pink, Light Pink, Bright Yellow, Pale Yellow, Green Shadow and Light Blue.  I then die cut all of these elements.  I applied them to the scene using dimensional foam tape.

I adhered the panel to the card base which is made of a nice and sturdy 110lb Neenah and just finished with a few festive dots of the same silver gel pen I used earlier so there is a nice twinkle as the card is handled.   The inside of the card has the cupcake piñata inside and the reverse of the card has the heart piñata applied just above my maker's stamp - so there's a lot more going on than initially meets the eye!



Thanks for coming by to read about this card, happy crafting, see you next time!
