Hi everyone! Welcome to my page and my stop on this awesome two day, blog hop extravaganza!! The blog hop is to celebrate the beautiful tropical themed new release from Pretty Pink Posh! Yipppeeee! It's been tough to keep this release a secret, that's for sure! But today, we're all sharing cards and projects to inspire you with the new release. It has everything perfect for summer! I made two colorful cards to share today. I hope you've got a mai tai ready and your flip flops on!
Here is a photo of both of my cards together. Both are A2 sized white card bases. I used Copic Markers as my coloring medium for both cards as well. And lots of tropical colors.
I'll walk you through some of the details on my cards and talk about how I made them. All the stamps and dies are from Pretty Pink Posh. My supply list is at the bottom of my post. These Monstera leaves are sooooo pretty and fun to color! I used four shades of green to get just the right vivid color. I added pink flowers and used the new rhinestones too. I made the clouds border by using the scalloped strip from the Stitched Borders 3 Die. (Hint, later I used it to make waves too!)
I stamped and die cut out all the pieces for my card and then went to town with my Copics! I had the best time choosing colors and just making it bright and fun! I colored her shirt with stripes by using copics in summer colors. So easy! Aqua is my uniform color to tie the project together. The 'sand' was made from kraft cardstock splattered with Distress Ink. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.
Now, the waves were made using the 'negative' piece of scalloped die that made the clouds! Super easy to use what you already have on hand. I die cut two shades of aqua to make the water. I splattered them with white ink to look like ocean spray!
I used gems from the new Luau Mix to add some highlights to the card. I also used a white gel pen to add accents over my coloring. It's hard to see in the photo but I also added clear glaze to her sunglasses, the leaves and parts of the surfboards.
Next up are these cutie patootie Toucans!! They make me smile!! So much fun to color them!! The cute Toucan stamp set comes with the beautiful branch for them to perch on. I stamped and die cut out a bunch of images and colored with Copics.
I played around with a bunch of different card layouts for this one, but ultimately decided to do it this way. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the top layer in crisp black ink to offset all the color.
Here's a little shot of how I colored the leaves, and which Copic Markers I used for them.
These little guys say "SUMMER" for sure!
