**VIDEO** Pretty Pink Posh October Release Blog Hop

October 15, 2015

Hello! Welcome to Pretty Pink Posh October Release Blog Hop! I am so excited that you are here and if you came from Gayatri’s blog, you are at the right place. There are some fun giveaways at the end of the post, so stay tuned!

OctoberRelease

For today, I decided to create two completely different projects to share. There is also a step-by-step video tutorial you can check out where I share lots of tips and techniques. So sit back, relax, grab something yummy to eat or drink, and enjoy the video!

One of the favorite things I like to do when adding dimensions to the card is by taking a huge background and creating a focal point within that background. An easy way to do this is using a die that can give you that depth and interest.

As you can see above, I used the Storybook 2 die from Pretty Pink Posh to create a focal point for the card. I used foam dots to raise these die cut pieces, this way you can create some depth without taking anything away from the beautiful background.

I specifically used purple and gold color scheme to match the Royal Garden sequins collection. I think it really brings out the feminine feel of the sequins collection and flows really well with those sequins.

Next card has a completely different feeling. I wanted to create something colorful with some fall feel to it. So I came up with the card above with some fun fall color, feathers that go really well together with the Autumn Harvest sequins collection. I also used the Mini Tags Die for the banners.

I did not have any big leaf stamps so I decided to take out some feather images from Wplus9 Dream Believer stamp set. I thought these would be a great alternative to fall leave. What do you think? Fall card doesn’t always have to be dark brown, gray, yellow colors, cards can have nice and bold colors that go well together with traditional fall colors.

Wplus9 colors used in this card: Gala Red, Pumpkin Spice, Last Leaf, Falling For Blue, Warm Wool
