Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh June 2023 Release Blog Hop!
For my card, I started with a 4.25 inch square white cardstock and ink blended it with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink, giving it a lovely blue-green shade. Then, I used the Starburst Stencil with the same ink to add a pattern, creating a cool tone-on-tone effect. For extra visual interest, I splattered some white ink on top.
Next, I painted various papers with watercolors and used them with the Fruit Mug Additions Dies to cut out adorable little fruits. I absolutely adore how vibrant and playful they turned out! I also cut the Fruit Bowl from brown watercolored paper and arranged the bowl and fruits on the card panel.
To enhance the card's design, I added yellow borders on both sides of the panel. These borders were created using the frame die from the Fancy Cake Dies, which I simply trimmed to fit perfectly.
For a special touch, I used pink hot foil to beautifully write the word "Friend" on white cardstock. Using the Friend Shadow Dies, I then cut it out and carefully glued it onto the fruit bowl. To convey a sweet message, I stamped the phrase "You're Sweet" on a strip of pink cardstock using black ink.
Finally, I securely attached the card panel onto a slightly larger 4.5 inch square white cardstock. To add a touch of shine and texture, I embellished the card with Bubblegum Pearls, scattering them here and there.
