Pretty Pink Posh September Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY

Hello and welcome to day 3 of the Pretty Posh September Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from the super talented Dana Kirby's blog.  Make sure you hop along as there are three $30 gift certificates up for grabs. (More details below)

It's been so much fun to see how all the designers are using the new products, and I hope that I can inspire you today.  I've pulled out some of my most favorite products from this release for today's card.  

I just can't get enough of stencils lately, so I started with the Layered Foliage Stencils.  I've noticed that if the word "foliage" is in a product name I'm probably going to love it. :) I did a little unconventional blending here (at least for me) and blended three triangle shaped sections on my card base using Melon, Papaya, and Island inks from the The Stamp Market.  Then I placed the stencil layers on top and blended with a heavier hand using the same inks plus Jade. 

Next, I used the same inks to blend color onto the pumpkins in the Fall Basket Dies.  Afterward I pulled out some Heidi Swapp Color Shine Sprays and heavily spritzed the pumpkins.  I LOVE the giant blotches that resulted!! 

I arranged my trio of pumpkins on the card front and popped them up with foam tape.  Then I layered three Grateful Script Die cuts and popped them up on the card as well.  I think I could use the Grateful Script Die on every single card I make.  It definitely jumped straight into my all-time favorites category.  

The final touch was adding a frame from the Nature Essentials Dies.  It just needed a little something to draw the eye into the focal point.

Thanks so much for visiting today!  You're next stop on the hop is the amazing Melody Rupple.  And just in case you missed a stop or two along the way, I'll include the full list of stops below.
