Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

Today, I'm thrilled to be participating in the

Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Celebration Blog Hop!

I love Pretty Pink Posh and all of their wonderful products,

so I was very excited to be asked to join in with the celebration!

Here's the card that I made for the happy occasion,

inspired by the new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge:

(Please visit the Curtain Call Challenge Blog 

for all the challenge info and deadline and to see what the other

design team members created for the challenge!)

The sweet little owl and cat hats in the photo reminded me of 

the cute little animals in Pretty Pink Posh's Holiday Pals stamp set.

I decided to create a faux-shaker card

(because creating real shaker cards tends to overwhelm me -- hee!)

I started by smooshing three colours of watered-down dye ink onto my background.

Once that was dry, I stamped my sentiment (from SSS's Big Scripty Sentiments)

and created my frame using one of Pretty Pink Posh's Scallop Frames dies.

I stamped the three critters from Pretty Pink Posh's Holiday Pals stamp set

onto another piece of white cardstock and coloured them in, using some 

Zig Markers coloured onto an acrylic block, with water and a paintbrush.

I fussy cut them out by hand as a group.

Then, I adhered some of the new beautiful Sweet Pea Sequins Mix

onto my background, gathering a bunch behind the critters,

so it looks like they're all piled up behind them -- but they aren't really!

They're just adhered in a long line along the sides and top of the animals!

A few more strategically placed sequins finishes it off.

I'm also linking this up to Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge: Ombre.

Now, it wouldn't be a celebration without some gifts & goodies!
