Sneak Peek: Woodland Critters

Hello, Pretty Pink Posh fans! This is Yana and today I wanted to share a quick card using the Woodland Critters set (releases on May 1st) as well as a fun way to add details to colored images using beads.

Woodland Critters stamp set features a number of cute forest animals and a few additional images such as mushrooms and flowers. One of the critters, the hedgehog, is mirrored – there are two identical images facing each other and you can use those for spinner cards – you can have a critter on the front and back of your spinner or just have two hedgehogs looking at each other for a cute love or friendship card.

This stamp set works really well with an older Camping Friends set – many images from both of these complement each other and let you create fun scenes with woodland critters.

Since I love to stamp my own patterns I wanted to show you how you can use critters and create a partial stamped pattern for a simple card.

Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card.

I used Copic markers to color my stamping and I went with:

• YG99, YG95 and YG93 to color grass, bird’s wing and butterflies;
• E79, E37, E33 and E31 to color bear, deer and hedgehogs;
• RV29, R24 and R22 to color mushrooms and bird’s belly;
• W3, W5 and a colorless blender marker to color bunnies.

 After my coloring was done I foam mounted my colored panel onto an A2 top folding card base made out of white cardstock and embellished my card using beads. I wanted my hedgehogs to carry something on theirs backs, but I didn’t want to add any additional stamped and colored images (you can add mushrooms, apples and even leaves to their backs), I decided I would add beads in red, green and cream colors.

I also added several sparkling clear sequins in different sizes and tied a natural twine bow at the top of my card.

We hope you’ve been enjoying all the sneak peeks of the new sets. Join us tomorrow as we reveal all of the new products that will be available on May 1st.
