Hello Crafty Friends! I am thrilled to be on the Pretty Pink Posh Blog today. Have you seen all of the adorable bugs from the latest release? Aren’t they just the cutest?! I am so excited to share with you a card featuring a couple of sweet bugs from the new Stitched Bugs Dies set. I paired them up with the new Everyday Branches Dies and Hello Shadow Dies. So let’s get started.
I used the Stitched Bugs Dies and the Everyday Branches Dies to diecut the caterpillar, ladybug, branch and some leaves out of Neenah Solar White 110 lbs cardstock. These parts can be easily diecut out of colored cardstock and inked up for a bit of depth and dimension. But today I have opted to diecut them out of white cardstock and then color them with Copic markers. I added highlights with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Caterpillar: R20/21/22/24/29, Y17/38 YR04/07, Y11/13/15/19, YG01/03/25, B00/02/04, V01/04/06
Ladybug: R14/24/29, T1/3/4/5/7
Branch: E21/23/25/27
Leaves: YG00/01/03/25
For the background, I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to lightly ink blend a piece of white cardstock. Once it was dry, I used the new Checkered Pierced Plate Die to diecut the panel. I used a paper trimmer to trim the panel down to 4” x 5.25”. I adhered the panel to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).
For the sentiment, I used the new Hello Shadow Dies to diecut the Hello and its shadow out of the Neenah Solar White cardstock. I colored the Hello with a Copic marker (R24) for the perfect match to my cute bugs. I adhered the red Hello to the white shadow with liquid glue. For the “Friend" sentiment, I used the “Hi Friend" sentiment from the new Cute Bugs Stamp set to partially stamp the sentiment. I masked off the “Hi” on the clear stamp, inked up the stamp with Versamark Watermark ink, removed the mask and stamped onto a piece of black cardstock.I heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used one of the Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut it out.
Finally, I adhered the colored bugs, branch, leaves and sentiment to the inked panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to check out all of the adorable bugs and amazing products from the latest release. Be sure to head on over to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop for more info and inspirations.
