Pretty Pink Posh | Starry Night Shaker Card. August Release Blog Hop (Day 2) + Giveaway

Hello everyone and thank you so much for joining us for Pretty Pink Posh August 2016 Release Blog Hop (Day 2) and giveaways (more about this below)!

In case you missed the Day 1 Blog Hop you can start at Vera Rhuhay’s blog.

I am very excited to see new goodies come to Pretty Pink Posh store – I’m loving their stamps, dies and sequin mixes! Today I’m sharing a card with an adorable Camping Friends stamp set and Stitched Hexagons die from the new release as well as Gold Star Confetti.

CARD DETAILS

I knew I wanted to create a little watercolor galaxy or night sky behind my little camping scene, so that’s where I started working on my card. I first heat embossed the moon and little solid stars in white embossing powder onto watercolor paper. Next I used several colors of Distress inks (I’m listing all colors below) and a water brush and added color around my images. I also added drops of water using Distress Sprayer and a bit of shimmer using Distress Mica Spray (unfortunately that shimmer doesn’t show on the photo).

I wanted to have more than just heat embossed stars so this is when I got the idea to turn this into a shaker. I die cut a hexagon-shaped opening in brown woodgrain cardstock panel, adhered a layer of clear acetate and used fun foam instead of regular foam adhesive to pop this panel up and create shaker walls. I wish I’d had fun foam in black, but the closest color I could find that would match to my watercolor sky was purple, so I used purple, you can spot a bit of purple on a few of the close up photos.

To fill the shaker I went with Gold Star Confetti to make it look like I had a bunch of falling stars on my card. The shaker window is rather large and I used about 1/3 of a pack of sequins to fill it so there’s quite lot of stars in there.

I also used Camping Friends stamp set to create a little scene for this project. I stamped several images in VersaFine Onyx Black ink onto watercolor paper, colored them with Distress ink and cut out using matching dies. I think this is a really fun stamp set especially for late Summer / early Fall. I used quite a bit of foam adhesive to foam mount these images and pop them up on my card (I love to have a lot of dimension on my projects).

Here’s a photo showing just how many stars I have in that shaker – enough to cover entire sky and wish for just about anything in life!

    1. Hi Yana ~ Your card is absolutely spectacular!! I am a total sucker for shaker cards and this one is just plain awesome. Paulina’s new Hexagon Die is perfect for this card; she always seems to come up with new and unique dies and I love it! All of your fun details on this card are wonderful and you’ve bundled them all together in this fun (FUN!) night camping scene. Thanks for continuing to share and inspire. ~HUGS~

    1. Your starry night card is unique to others and original. I LOVE how the stars look in the shaker, as well as the hexagon see-through window and the images in a bottom corner. The cardstock you used for this theme looks terrific. Excellent job, Yana!

    1. Very pretty night sky and stars for the shaker element. Love the brown woodgrain cardstock. Where can I purchase that? Congratulations Pretty Pink Posh for another great release.

      1. thank you, Maria!

        The brown wood grain paper is from Simon Says Stamp, I bought it a few years ago, but I see they don’t carry it anymore, only white. Altenew, I think, has brown wood grain, but much darker brown. There’s always white wood grain, too. Both Simon and Altenew have it, and you can ink it up with a light brown if you’d like to have that specific color.

    1. Great cards, thanks for sharing how you completed the night sky background!

    1. Great background for your cute critters. Fun to see the hexagon shape coming back, too.

    1. Such a cute little scene! I love the critters sticking out from behind the tents, and the wooden background is fab, and so fitting!

    1. Cute card. Love the look of those hexagon dies. Just ordered them yesterday and can’t wait to get them!
