Hello friends! While I've been on the mend from a horrible dog attack, I've had time to play with some new products from a NEW company! This company is called My Pretty Things by Erin Thompson! This is part of her very first release and it's filled with fun beach/summer themed stamps, dies, and stencils.
The first thing I did is have fun making the background with the Making Waves Stencil set! I added Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink through the first stencil onto a panel of A2 sized white cardstock. I positioned the next stencil over the panel and spritzed on Shiny Bauble Distress Mica Stain. Before I removed the stencil, I pressed another piece of white cardstock onto the stencil to pick up the mica stain that was on the stencil! This will make a great piece for another card (coming soon)!
When the Mica Stain was dry, I spread some Iridescent Glitter gel through the third stencil. I set the piece aside to dry.
Next I die cut the Sweet Sunshine Layered Dies twice from two different shades of yellow cardstock. I used a mini blending brush to add shading with two inks.
I glued the bottom two layers together, slightly offsetting the layers. Then I glued the two pieces of the next layer, again offset. I added foam tape to the back to adhere it to the bottom layer of the sun. After I added the smiley face die to the inner circle, I glued on a small piece of pink cardstock behind the cheeks. I popped it up with foam tape to adhere.
I trimmed the Making Waves stenciled piece to 4" x 5-¼". Then I placed it into a shaker pocket and adhered all sides except the top. I poured in a pretty sequin mix that coordinates with the stenciled colors and sealed the top of the shaker pocket. I added double-sided adhesive to the back of the shaker to adhere it to an A2 card base.
The sentiment is from the Hey There Sunshine stamp set. I used the Hey There Sunshine dies to create the layered sentiment with a shadow die.
This is the first of three cards I will be sharing where I used other products from My Pretty Things! I hope you enjoyed this one! Thanks so much for stopping by!
