Pretty Pink Posh - Care Bears Mini Cards

Hi there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this set of care bear inspired mini cards I created using multiple Pretty Pink Posh items from different releases, including the lovely Bear Holder die set and a bunch of accessories from various sets.

I started off by creating my six backgrounds using dies from the Box Of Chocolates die set. I cut six panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the small rectangle die and colored each of them using oxide inks: spun sugar, dried marigold, scattered straw, shabby shutters, tumbled glass and shaded lilac. And then I used the Medium Polka Dots stencil along with darker shades of oxide inks to add more interest to each panel: worn lipstick, spiced marigold, fossilized amber, mowed lawn, salty ocean and wilted violet.

I added texture to each panel: I mixed each of the dark oxide inks with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to each panel, and then did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles.

Next I cut six stitched panels out of white cardstock using the largest rectangle die from the Box Of Chocolates die set, stuck each of those white panels to card bases, and then attached my mini colored panels using 1mm foam squares.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, pattern paper and vellum, and added texture to most of the elements using copic opaque white ink and liquid stardust again.

Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Bear Holder - bears, bellies, ears, snouts, noses, mouths • Valentine Bucket Additions - heart cheeks, bows, collars • Big Easter Cupcake - feet • Easter Mug Additions - eyes, hands • Fall Mug Additions - purple leaf • Horseshoe Shaker - green shamrock • Baby Mug Additions - yellow sun • Onesie Shaker - orange heart, blue moon, pink star.

I assembled the bears using 1mm foam squares and liquid glue, applied glossy accents to their nose and white blizzard nuvo drops to their heart cheeks, picked white hearts confetti from the Valentine Hearts confetti mix and glued a heart in the center of each rainbow bow using liquid glue. And when each bear was done, I attached them to their matching card using 1mm foam squares.

For the greetings, I used dies from the Box Of Chocolates die set again to make the words "love", "hugs" and "xoxo". I cut each word out of colored cardstock and out of white cardstock, glued each colored letter on a white letter, shifting the letters a little bit to get a nice white border around the colored letters, and then attached the words to their matching card using 1mm foam squares. Finally I applied glossy accents to each word to make them pop against the polka dot backgrounds.
