Pretty Cute Stamps - April 2015 New Release Blog Hop!!

Thanks so much for joining us for the April 2015  Release Blog Hop, where we are all sharing projects featuring the new stamps this month that are now available in the Pretty Cute Stamps Store.

 If you came from the Pretty Cute Stamps blog, you are in the right place. If you just stumbled across this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit the Pretty Cute Stamps Blog. 

For my project for the hop, I've used the Best Dad Evah stamp set to create this mixed media card. I used a background of BoBunny paper from the Forever Young collection and used a Tim Holtz sunray stencil to add Pistachio Distress Paint to the card base. I then sprinkled on Crystal embossing powder, which gives a shimmery clear shine and heat embossed it on top of the paint. The Happy Father's Day sentiment is stamped on black paper and added to a metal tab - I love the handwritten look of this sentiment! I even added some Tim Holtz washi tape to each side of the card.

I coloured these super cool ties from the Best Dad Evah stamp set with Prismacolor Markers and added some Gellyroll gel pen accents before matting on black paper and adding a wood arrow.

I really love this sentiment! I stamped in black and because it is a sketched look stamp I coloured over with coloured pencils!
