Pretty Pink Posh June 2022 Release - Adorable Dino's!

 Hey friends!  Today I'm delighted to be joining Pretty Pink Posh on the June 2022 blog hop!  There are so many cute new sets and I just couldn't wait to use those cute Dino sets!!

Be sure to stay tuned to the end of the post as there are 3 $50 gift certificates to be won!  You'll also find a full list of blog participants.

For my project I have used Dinosaur Friends and Dinosaur Additions stamp set and co-ordinating dies.  I started by stamping my images on to copic friendly cardstock with a black dye ink.  I used some nice rich earthy tones to color my images...here are the colors I used in case you want to use the same:

T-Rex - YG67, YG63, YG61, E08, YR07

Brachiosaurus - E47, E44, E43, E42, YR24, YR23

Diplodocus - E44, Y26, Y23

Palm trees - G99, G94, E27, E25, E23

Grass, E43, E43, YG63, YG61

Bones - W3, W1, W0

Once all the images were colored I used the co ordinating dies to cut out all the images.  I set them aside while I worked on the card scene.

I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock to 4.5" x 3.25".  I created some wavy shaped masks from sheets of masking paper and used these to create some desert style hills.  I used Distress Ink in Vintage Photo, concentrating the color towards the tops of the hills.  For some added interest and texture, I loosened some of the Vintage Photo with some water and used a small paint brush to flick on some splatters.  For the sky I used Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass, making sure to blend from the top down to give a gradient effect.

Using a combination of liquid adhesive and foam tape I secured the images to the scene.  The sentiment was stamped using a black pigment ink.

I really like the look of layers so I secured the scene panel to a white panel measuring 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" and secured the whole thing to a light grey A2 sized card base.  

I created a matching tag using a tag die from Stitched Essentials 1 Dies.  I used the same masking techniques and ink colors, I love giving cards with a matching tag!
