Hollyhocks Anniversary - CTD758

Hi there! I’m hostess over at the Color Throwdown Challenge for this week and I chose the colors pink, green, magenta and white for us to create with. I can’t wait to see what you create using these colors!

For my card I used The Greetery’s Hollyhock BotaniCuts dies to create an anniversary card. I started out by die cutting the leaves in mellow moss and the flowers in white, pink pirouette and raspberry fizz card stock and then using peeled paint, scattered straw and spun sugar distress oxide ink along with some Altenew razzleberry and Pinkalicious ink to blend on each die cut piece. I also blended some spun sugar distress ink on the background of my white card base. I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set, Think Big Favorites for my sentiment which I stamped onto a strip of raspberry fizz card stock for along the bottom of my card. As a finishing touch, in the center of each flower I added some yellow Stickles glitter.

Fresh Berries

Hello, crafty friends! Today I have a card that features the new Fresh Berries stamp set and dies from Pretty Pink Posh. This is such a fun set with all of the different berries, berry basket and sentiments.

I used just the strawberries from the set along with the leaves, berry basket, flowers and the die cut sentiment. I also used the strawberry stencil for my background and for me I think my card is a tad too busy. I tried to anchor my images by using a strip of red card stock down the middle but I think the next time I used this stencil I’ll use it on a colored piece of card stock so my images pop a little more. Along with the Fresh Berries set I used the Pretty Pink Posh Bee Friends set. I colored all of my images using copic markers and used foam tape to pop up the two bees and the flower on the basket.
