Hi Crafters, Valerie here today! 

For the Challenge, I created a set of cards with varying sentiments, using Paper Smooches, Distress Inks, & Pretty Pink Posh, and a cool process I learned from Jennifer McGuire!

I’m using these Paper Smooches products: Natural Beauties stamp set (for the birds and the branch), all the sentiments came from the Word Salad stamp set, and the Fancy Frames Icon die set.

For the patterned background, I saw a cool idea from Jennifer McGuire on one of her videos (called Coloring with Bleach), and I HAD to try it. It involves distress inks, heat embossing, and BLEACH! Here is her video:

So for the blue card above, I used Mermaid Lagoon. On the yellow card below, I used Mustard Seed.

This next card is using Abandoned Coral. The stitched curved die cut on all the cards’ distress-colored papers are from the arched die in the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Borders 1 die set.

This next card uses Wilted Violet. The clear drop bling are Pretty Pink Posh’s 4mm & 6mm Droplets.

And the last card has Carved Pumpkin on it. The birds and the branch were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It Paper, and colored with Copics:

  • Blue Bird: B00, B01, B04 / YR07
  • Red Bird: R17, R24, R27, R29 / YR07
  • Branch: E17

For the sky behind the birds, I masked them and the branch off with Mask-It Tack Film, and then rubbed Squeezed Lemonade and Tumbled Glass distress inks on with my Mini Ink Blenders.

It is definitely a fun process, and I know I will use it again!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week!

    I saw this video from Jennifer and can’t wait to try it myself! I love how you incorporated the bleach into your cards! The PPP die is just perfect for those sweet little birds and I really love the shading you did on the background. What a fun and colorful set of cards. Thanks for sharing your creativity Valerie! Have a great day 🙂
