Hello Friends, How has your week been. I am back today for a blog hop with Pretty Pink Posh. They are having a product release blog hop and I am super excited to be part of the hop and I think you are going to love the new goodies.
For the hop I created an assortment of cards with watercolors, colored pencils and copic markers PLUS a video.
You all know how much I love butterflies and this mini set from PPP is a must have.. it’s called, “Blissful Butterflies“. The butterflies were stamped repeatedly with some Worn Lipstick ink. Then…. I colored them with these colored pencils. Sequins are a must because that’s how Pretty Pink Posh got started … with sequins!
Looking for a good glue for sequins? I have discovered Matte Medium is best for me.
Making shaped cards are my favorite so I was pretty happy to get these Stitched Hexagons. I used my jumbo scissors to trim a white boarder around the largest hexagon. Keep the tent in your head… you will know what I mean soon. Various ink and a textured rag gave me lots of texture on my card colored with alcohol markers. (I used the leaves to stamp a pattern on the tent)
This shaped card was fun. I die cut several of the mini hexagons in the die set and watercolored them. Once they were dry I glued them down with some glossy accents, trimmed the excess hexagons off my card base and stamped the “Hello” from the Blissful Butterfly stamp set.
Ok remember I said to keep the tent in your head? Watch the video to see how I used the tent to create this graphic card.

Oh my gosh.. are you serious.. That butterfly hello card is beyond words. I think it is my favorite of your all time. Amazing.
Looks like I left this comment in the color challenge winner blog. Oops, sorry if I’m repeating myself. But it truly IS a pleasure to see your work. I especially like that first simple card with the butterflies. Thanks for your ideas and for sharing them with the world!

You are so clever….what a great video. You really have opened my eyes to looking at my stamps and dies in different ways. I’m more of a technician vs. an artist, so all your tips help to tap into the more creative side of my brain.
Thanks for all you do and congrats to the winners…..

I really love all of the cards, but it always really excites me to learn new ways to use supplies such as the tent stamp! There is so much we can learn from one another if we only take the time to teach and to open our minds to others. Thanks so much for all the giving and and all the inspiration you have for others Kathy!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your video! I made me go over to my stamp drawer and check out some ideas you generated with your suggestions to check our stamps for ideas.

What a collection of beauty Kathy! Your night sky looks just like denim jeans blue! Love your white doodling with the gel pen on your flower petals. And the butterflies have so much depth with the way you used deep colors on the corners of the wings!!!
Love all the cards! I would never have come up with the tent stamp idea. I am always amazed when people can think of different ways to use their stamps. I’m just not that clever. Thank you for all the inspiration.
Love the butterfly card.
Love all of the different shape of your cards. Each one is fun and unique
Love all of your cards, especially the shaped hexagon ones. Very nice indeed!
Beautiful job on all 4 projects! I loved watching you create your own design, so beautiful. I wish you had also showed how you colored your gorgeous butterflies!
Your cards are always so unique! They are all beautiful, but the first card with the butterflies is my favorite. It is gorgeous!
Wow! What a great collection of cards you’ve made! I love the butterflies on the Hello card, and the hexagon shaped cards are so clever! But the best part was the way you used the tent stamps in such an unusual way! I love “out of the box thinking” like this! Fantastic job, Kathy!

Amazing colorful cards!
Sooooo difficult to pick a favorite. I love them all. TY for sharing your process’s and also your tent stamp repurposing idea. I want to run to the craft room and see what stamp I have to copy this trick.
Great tutorial at the end showing how you can use the tent stamp in other ways great idea!

Great ‘out of the box’ use of the tent for the last card! I especially love the white dot design. You take for granted your idea to do the asymmetrical line of dots, but I think that is sheer genius! Just another awesome part to an awesome card! Love the other cards too, btw… this post was loaded with inspiration!
Love love love the butterflies – so pretty.
the coloring is fantastic.
After each card I’d say “that’s my favorite” and
then I’d see the next card and it would be my
favorite.
