Stamping for Autism Awareness Blog Hop

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather here this morning with a couple cards to share for a very special blog hop for Autism Awareness! You can find all the info on the hop HERE – what it’s all about, who’s participating, and all the sponsors of this great event!

I made two cards today featuring a variety of new and old Pretty Pink Posh products!

I created some bright happy scenes with fun sentiments, happy balloons, and pretty flowers – not to mention a few of the popular new Pretty Pink Posh jewels!

I started off with the cute little boy and girl from Birthday Friends, and stamped the bundle of balloons for them as well. I colored them up, then die cut with the coordinating Birthday Friends Dies. I die cut a couple of Stitched Speech Bubbles from black cardstock, and heat embossed sentiments on them from the new Encouraging Greetings Stamp Set (a must have!).

Next, I stamped several of the flowers and greenery from the new Bunny Friends Stamp set, and cut them out with the coordinating Bunny Friends Dies. I tried to keep the color combos well coordinated, using the same Copic colors between balloons, flowers, and clothes, then mixing them up between the cards to balance everything out.

After I planned my placement of everything, I did some Copic coloring with my Warm Gray Copics to add a ground for the scene. Next, I adhered the girl and boy and their balloons with foam adhesive, and covered the balloons with a good thick coat of Glossy Accents. Once they dried, I even added a second coat for lots of shine! You can see it best in the next two photos.

Once that all dried, I adhered the sentiment on the speech bubble with two layers of foam adhesive to pop it up above the rest, then adhered the flowers directly on the cardbase. This layering makes the scene pop just that much more! I finished off by adhering a few of the new jewels- Spring Green on the girl card, and Lemon Drop on the boy card.

I had so much fun building the scene on these! Pairing all the different sets together was so much fun – and as always, I love how well all the Pretty Pink Posh products work together!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
