Pink and Main February Release

It is my pleasure to be back guest designing for Pink & Main once again this month and today is the day of their brand new February release.  Much to tempt from the new products however I opted to work with the following products:-

My Little Love Bug

My Little Love Bug Dies

Shaker Tag Dies

'The Greens' Sticky Gems

For the card, I started with a panel of pink cardstock and I used the Tiny Hearts Hot Foil Plate by Alex Syberia Designs and some pink foil to create the design for a little more added interested.  I framed this panel out with a white die cut frame created using MFT's Rectangle Frames Die-namics.  With some minty green cardstock I added a little insert of green to the bottom of the background on which I 'grew' the blooms.

Using another identical background and the Shaker Tag Dies by Pink & Main I created the tag so that it coordinated with the card.  I glued the parts together and tied some green ribbon through the hole.

I stamped the images from My Little Love Bug and coloured them with Copic markers in the following combinations:-

Bugs - G00, BG11, BG10, BG000, E04, E11, E21, E00

Blush & Pink Blooms - R22, R21, R20, R00

Yellow Flowers - YG00, Y13, Y06, Y21, E51, YR21, Y26

Greenery - YG45, G12, YG11

Images were die cut using the coordinating dies and highlighted with a white gel pen.   I backed the images with dimensional foam tape and applied to the card and gift tag.

For the finishing touches I applied 3 sticky gems from the newly release 'The Greens' selection and I dotted in some daisies to the grass.  Last but not least I stamped the sentiments on sentiment strips using Coral Reef Ink by The Stamp Market.

I hope you like this pretty duo, thank you for visiting my blog today and enjoy shopping the new Pink and Main release.

This announcement card uses the following Alex Syberia products:-

Hog Happy Day

Hog Happy Day Die

Signature Tags Die Set

Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set

Festive Fun Stencil

I took an A2 panel of white cardstock and I used Blush and Fresh Mint inks by The Stamp Market to stencil the design and to ink blend the bottom of the panel which I then die cut using the Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set.  I die cut the smaller tag from Signature Tags and ink blended using the same inks but no stencilling on it, instead I spattered it with white acrylic paint loosened with a drop or two of water. 

I stamped the images from Hog Happy Day and coloured them with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Pigs - R22, R21, R20, R00, R000, W3, W1, Wo

Fairy Wings - BG32, BG11

White - C3, C1, C0

Yellow - Y21, Y00

The images were die cut using the coordinating dies and applied to the background panel with foam tape.  I did minimal highlighting with a white gel pen and grounded the lower images in the scene with some sprigs of grass and shadows.

I stamped and die cut the sentiments and used the coordinating dies to die cut them and then used the dies 3 more times to die cut white cardstock which I glued in stacks with the sentiment on top and then to the card and tag.

To complete the card and tag I adhered 3 different sizes of sparkling clear sequins then backed the feature panel with white craft foam and adhered it to a panel of Blush cardstock by The Stamp Market that was slightly larger and then adhered this to a white A6 card base which is slightly bigger again.

I found some mint ribbon in my stash and threaded that through the opening on the tag and with that this card and gift tag duo was complete.

Thanks for stopping by today, I'll be back before you know it with something new.
