Pretty Pink Posh - August 2022 Release Blog Hop

Hello friends! I'm so excited to be joining in on the blog hop to celebrate the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween release.  The brand new release is available now, and it's SPOOKTACULAR!!  Be sure to read to the bottom of my post for info on the giveaway and links to today's blog hop participants!

                              


I had so much fun creating this slimline card and coordinating tags using the new Halloween Critters and Halloween Borders stamp sets! 


To begin, I stamped the images from Halloween Critters, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Halloween Critters Coordinating Dies. 
Next, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies. I cut a circle from masking paper and placed it in the middle of the panel and ink blended the background using Milled Lavender, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks. I removed the masking paper and lightly inked the moon with gray ink to give the moon some dimension. Next, I die cut 2 grassy borders from green cardstock and birch trees from black cardstock using the Nature Essentials Dies. I then stamped the spooky fence 2 times in black ink from the Halloween Borders stamp set and die cut the borders using the Halloween Borders Coordinating Dies. I attached the grassy borders to the bottom of the inked panel, then tucked the fence borders under the grass, overlapping them to fit the length of the card. I then adhered the black birch trees to my card before attaching the critters with foam tape for dimension. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in black ink across the moon and attached the completed card to a black 3 1/2 x 8 1/2" card base to finish.

Next, I created a fun set of tags to coordinate with the slimline card. 


 I stamped the images from Halloween Critters, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Halloween Critters Coordinating Dies.  Next, I cut 2 black scalloped tags using the Scallop Square Tags. I then cut Bristol smooth cardstock to fit inside the scallop tags and ink blended then as I did the slimline card. I then stamped the spooky fence 2 times in black ink from the Halloween Borders stamp set and die cut the borders using the Halloween Borders Coordinating Dies. I attached the grassy borders to the bottom of the inked panel, then tucked the fence borders under the grass, cutting off the edges to fit the width of the tag. The birch trees were tucked behind the fence borders before attaching the critters with foam tape. I stamped the sentiments from the Halloween Envelopes stamp set in black ink along the grassy borders, then finished off the tags by adding a couple of stamped bats, also from  Halloween Envelopes.
