Hello crafty friends! Welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh January Release Blog Hop! Come hop along with us for lots of inspiration and a chance to win prizes!
I have two cards to share with you today featuring some gorgeous new products from the January Release. Both cards showcase the new Valentine Ghost Friends and Heart Balloon Stamp Sets as well as their coordinating dies.
For both cards, I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copic Markers. Next, I used the patterned heart stamps that come in the Heart Balloon Stamp Set to add some patterns onto some of my hearts.
For my background, I trimmed a piece of white card stock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and then ran it through my die cutting machine using one of the new Doily Borders Dies at the bottom of my card stock. Isn’t that die cut pattern beautiful? Next, I lightly blended the center of it with some Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink and then layered this piece over top an A2 sized base of pink card stock. Lastly, I added my sentiment using the new Valentines Greetings Stamp Set and coordinating dies as well as my images with dimensional foam tape.
I followed a similar process for my second card and used most of the same products. This time, I just used some ink-blending for my background (Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Inks) and stamped my sentiment onto my card front with black ink (instead of using the coordinating dies with it as I did in the card above).
Copic Colors Used:
- Light Pinks: RV02, RV10, RV63, BG90
- Dark Pinks: RV02, RV04, RV19
- Ghosts: 0, W00, W1, W3

I love the Heart balloons and the Doily Borders. The Ghosts kinda crack me up. I can just see people sending these to tell people they are going to be ghosted even though they love them. Just my silly side coming out.
I love the theme and colors you used. I wish I could color and blend like this. Maybe one day!! Haha. Super cute and creative.
Love the little ghost with the sunglasses on, made me LOL! Your coloring is really beautiful…so fun!
