Hi Friends!
It’s been a while since I’ve crafted just for me. It’s been an amazing two months with the new opportunities that have come my way – becoming a designer for both Lil Inker Designs and Hello Bluebird – I’m still pinching myself! I’ve completed my assignments and was cleaning my desk the other night and noticed the pile of images I had pre-stamped that have been sitting in my desk organizer for months. I went through it as I had a few weeks ago and found a panel I had already colored but had done nothing with so I was committed to take some time and create a card with it last night.
I love Pretty Pink Posh designs – especially Paulina’s floral images and have a lot of the sets. I need to make more time to color them – hopefully I’ll be able to make some time in June with the next Kathy Racoosin Coloring Challenge! I think this panel was stamped for the last challenge!
I fussy cut all the flowers and decided it needed hummingbirds. I LOVE hummingbirds! So I quickly stamped and colored two using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I fussy cut those out as well.
Colors used: 025 Pink, 042 Turquoise Green, 082 Purple, 084 Deep Violet
I ink-blended the card panel using Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink (that’s not colored cardstock that you see). Distress Oxide is just sooo great for ink blending! The background of the shaker is Peacock Feathers Distress Ink – I used a soft hand for that, but you could get the same look if you layered lots of color. I wanted it to be softer for the shaker portion and used Distress Ink.
I used the PPP Smile shaker die and added PPP sequins to complete this card. I’m really excited and happy about how it turned out. One of my favorites! Hope you enjoyed this!
XOXO,

Gorgeous shaker! I’m especially crushing over the wild roses; they’re the provincial flower of Alberta, where I live! May need to invite those beauties into my collection…
