Pretty in Pink: Penny Pony

Josette here with another Tuesday Blog Post.  Today I have the cutest card!!

This is from the new April release:  Penny_Pony_clear_stamp_set_.  I love those chestnut horses, so what could be more perfect that a happy pony in Pink.

This card is simple, one layer and easy to just pop in the mail.  First I colored the image with copics, added some glimmer to the saddle pad and bridle with a clear Wink of Stella.  Trimmed the bottom to curve.  I then cut my card stock to 4.25" x 11, using the pony image to mark the curve, trimmed the bottom off of the front.  Added a pink card stock to the inside of the card a few sequins to the from and it is ready to be sent to a horse lover, or a little girl who is mad for horses.

My little granddaughter rides a big 18+ draft cross  named Richter Scale, that looks a lot like this pony.   He even sports a pink saddle pad at times,  such a good sport!

That is all for today, stop back by next week for another Tuesday Card.
Happy Crafting,

Happy Penguin Card

Josette here.  Have you seen the new stamp sets that are being released next month.  Oh they are wonderful.  When I first saw the promo sheet, my happy dance started when I saw the penguins.  I always look for penguins as my sister just loves them and this one was Perfect.  Remember the stamp sets are available for pre-order and are on sale!!!!
Here is my card:

I used the same "formula" for this one as for my snowmen cards.  But there are a few differences.

Background was stamped, and the snowflakes colored with a gel pen in Silver and Clear Star.  Then the background was inked with Cracked Pistachio and Chipped China.  Lastly was sprayed with water for this wintery mix background.  Double click on image for a close up of the distressing. 

If you look close at the first penguin, when I added the water the ink ran.  No worries, stamped another, colored and fussy cut.  Using dimensional foam popped it over the Watery image.

Add Snow using modeling paste and sprinkled glitter into it while still well..
Added a few sequins, mounted it onto a card, Done!!

Be sure and stop by Sweet Stamps and check out all the new stamps. Start your New Year with inspiration.

Happy Crafting
