Hey friends, this is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook! It's Mix it up Monday and I'm very behind on birthday cards for the year so forgive me if it seems like that's all that's on my mind for a while. Today I'm mixing some cute new Pretty Pink Posh critters with the great Lawn Fawn giant sentiments.
I loved how the kitty and puppy go perfectly on either side of the sentiment so I stamped those plus a couple accessories straight away and colored them in some fun colors. Then I used the Pretty Pink Posh Candles layered stencil set and inked them in the same color-way.
Next I did a bunch of die cutting all at once. I cut the images out and used the largest Pretty Pink Posh Eyelet Rectangle to cut the stenciled background. Then I cut the sentiment 4 times from cardstock, using liquid glue to adhere all the layers together.
Before assembling everything I did a few extras to various parts of my card. I used a dark yellow copic marker to add detail to the flames on the stenciled candles. Then I used a BG copic marker to add darkness to the bottom of the letters on the die cut sentiment. Finally before assembling everything I to the mermaid ink pad directly to the card front to tie in the teal and give the background some texture at the same time.
To assemble, I glued the sentiment to the stenciled panel and popped that up on the card base with foam tape. Then I added the images with a combination of foam squares and liquid glue depending where they overlapped the sentiment.
For finishing touches I added a few white gel pen highlights before coming in with my classic glossy accents for noses, flames and hat pompoms.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
