Pretty Pink Posh Spring Release!

 

Hello Friends!  Another amazing Pretty Pink Posh release has arrived and its full of fun and cuteness!  Today is Day 2 of blog hopping and there are amazing prizes to be won so be sure to check that out at the end of this post!  I've also listed all of today's participants at the end of this post to help you hop along and see all the amazing projects being showcased.

For my project today I have created two cards using the new Easter Wreath stamp set and co ordinating die.  The itsy bitsy spring images in this wreath are so adorable and I love the slightly bigger images that are included in the set too. 

I started by stamping the wreath image on to copic friendly card stock with a black dye ink and used my copic markers to color all of the images.  Once the images were colored I cut the wreath out with the co-ordinating die and set them aside.

I created two card bases by cutting a piece of white card stock to 8" x 4" and scored the long edge at 4" to create a square card base.  Taking my Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick and Villainous Potion I blended on colour directly on to each a card front using a blending brush and a light hand.  I like to start by applying very little pressure at first and build up color very slowly to create a nice smooth appearance.  To create a little more interest I smooshed the ink pads on to my glass mat, added a few drops of water and used small paint brush to flick on some splatters. 

For the sentiment in the middle of the wreath I stamped 'welcome spring' from the new Easter Signs stamp set in a black pigment ink.  I popped some foam squares on the back of the wreath and then adhered the wreath to the card front.  For some extra detail and sparkle I added a few sparkling clear confetti with small dabs of liquid glue.

That finishes up this project!  I hope you liked these cute little Easter cards :)
