Pretty Pink Posh-August Release blog hop

augustbloghopHi there! Today I’m excited to be joining Pretty Pink Posh for their August release blog hop.
PPP-Camping FriendsMy first card features the adorable Camping Friends stamp set with coordinating dies. How adorable are these images? I did some subtle ink blending in the background and colored all the images with Copics.
PPP-Camping FriendsMy second card features the cute Fox & Friends stamp set with coordinating dies.
PPP-Fox Friends & Rainy DayI used one of the Scallop Border dies for the grass. The Rainy Days & Rainy Day Additions sets were also used for the umbrellas, clouds & sentiment. I inked up the umbrellas & clouds with two colors each to give them a gradient look using Mama Elephant inks.

  1. Your colouring always stuns me, all your cards look so clean and perfect. And these are both so cute – love the scenes you created in them!

  2. Hi Laura,

    I’m not sure you’ll see this or not but….

    Love your cards and videos! Thanks for your wonderful inspiration!

    I heard you say you wanted a pineapple t-shirt on yesterday’s video and I just bought one so I thought I’d send you the link. I found this person on Instagram and know it’s a small business. Love the shirt I purchased, it’s so soft!! Have a great weekend!

  3. Seriously adorable cards Laura. I love the Camping Friends set and I absolutely love these umbrellas. (I just realized I don’t own an umbrella stamp yet. LOL) TFS!

  4. I find it difficult to make cards for my husband who is a lover of all things outdoors & especially loves camping in the wild. I have now the set from PPP to use. Great cards laura.

  5. Super CUTE cards, Laura! Beautiful Copic coloring on both cards, and I love how you created those fun scenes! I’m a huge fan of Pretty Pink Posh, so I’m crossing my fingers and toes on this one 🙂

  6. These cards are too stinking cute! I didn’t think I needed these stamps at first impression. But now I’m pretty sure I do!

  7. Two adorable cards. Your coloring and blending is amazing. Love both cards but when I scrolled down and saw the foxes with umbrella’s I had to smile. That is way too cute. Fantastic job!
