Pretty Pink Post October release Blog Hop

Hello friends!

I'm so happy to be joining Pretty Pink Posh for their october release! This holiday release is jammed packed with amazing die sets that I immediately felt in love with.

For today's post I decided to create a wreath using the new Holiday Wreath builder dies

I started this project by inking an A2 white cardstock panel with Salvaged Patina and Speckled Egg Distress Ink. I applied more pressure on the edges and softened the color towards the center of the panel. Next up, I used the new Cascading Snowflakes stencil and applied more ink but only on the egdes of my panel. I let my background dry and using the same Cascading Snowflakes stencil I applied Distress Sparkling paste. These snowflakes are truly subtle by I really like the frosty look they add.

I also added some tiny stars I cut out of white glitter cardstock using the stars form the Build an ornament die set. To add some contrast and extra texture I also added some light pink snowflakes I cut out using the new Stitched Snowflakes die set.

To create my ornament I die cut all the elements from the Holiday Wreath Builder dies using white cardstock. I always prefer to color my die cuts rather than using colored cardstock. I used Distress Gathered Twigs and Ripe Perssimon for my brown leaves, Concord & 9th Sea Glass and Parsely for my twigs and Distress Salvaged Patina for my holly leaves. I also used some light pink stars also from the Build an Ornament die set.

I foam mounted all the elements onto the circle die cut of the Holiday Wreath and adhered it onto my front panel. I added some Ranger Collage medium onto all the elements of my wreath with a small brush and then sprinkled some Distress Rock Candy Glitter for a frosty look. Lastly foam mounted my sentiment with Olive ink using the Winter Greetings stamp set.
