Bridal Shower Blog Hop for Ruby Naz

Hi crafty friends!!! I am REALLY excited to be sharing a card with you today in celebration of my dear friend Ruby’s recent wedding!

A group of us have joined together to host a special “shower” hop in celebration of her and her husband, Steve and I hope you’ll join in and hop along with us!

For my card today, I used a couple of fun products from both Pretty Pink Posh and My Favorite Things. The fall images are from Pretty Pink Posh’s new stamp set Giving Thanks; and the grateful die and coordinating sentiment are from the My Favorite Things Grateful stamp and die collection.

I wanted to do some messy watercoloring for this card, as this is one of my favorite looks for watercolored images. I used Prima’s Watercolor Confections to do the watercoloring (I used both the Classics and the Tropicals sets); the images were stamped in Cobblestone ink from Simon Says Stamp onto Canson XL watercolor paper.

After coloring the images, I die cut the grateful die from Dark Chocolate cardstock from Simon Says Stamp four times; I layered the pieces together to create a stacked sentiment and then added clear embossing powder over it to create a more dimensional effect.

I then layered that sentiment onto some strips of watercolor paper and vellum that I tore the edges of, which created a more “rustic” or natural feel. I also stamped the coordinating “for you” sentiment in Schoolhouse Red ink from Simon Says Stamp.

To finish off the card, I added some hemp that I tied into the center of the card, and tucked a few watercolored leaves and acorn to the right side of the sentiment.

KEEP HOPPING!
