Pretty Pink Posh - Dinosaur Friends Fancy Card

Hello there,

I'm kicking off the Animal Theme Week on the Pretty Pink Posh blog with this super colorful dinosaur themed fancy card featuring a mix & match of "old" and new Pretty Pink Posh products. As you may already know, I like to create cute busy scenes, and this Fancy Card die set is just perfect to do that!

There is also a 15% discount on all items in the Animal Section during this theme week (until July 21st) at Pretty Pink Posh!

I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Dinosaur Friends for the palm trees, bones, leaves and dinosaurs • Dinosaur Additions for the volcano and dinosaurs • Construction Trucks for the rocks • Jungle Friends for the flowers.

Next I worked on my three panels, and started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. On the lower part, I created a mud/sand border using antique linen and vintage photo oxide inks. In the middle part, I created a grass border using mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks. And on the top part, I did the sky using tumbled glass and salty ocean oxide inks. I white heat embossed my "You are dino-mite!" greeting from Dinosaur Friends on the top right hand corner, and set my panel aside.

I cut a second panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the second Fancy Card die, and colored it using the same inks as before, except for the sky. Next I used the same die again to cut a colorful plaid panel, cut the tab off, and glued that panel at the back of the other.

I cut a third panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the third Fancy Card die, and colored it using the same green inks as before only. I used the same die again to cut a panel out of the same colorful plaid paper as before, cut the tab off, and glued that panel at the back of the other.

Next I attached those two Fancy Card panels on each side of the main panel, stuck the whole thing to a white card base, and then attached all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. As always, I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.
