Pink & Main: So Cool!
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! I’m so exited to share this ADORABLE and brightly colored card using Pink & Main stamps and dies by their designer, Kimberly Jensen! Read on and enjoy!
Hi, I’m Kimberly Jensen and I’m a design team member for Pink & Main. I’m excited to share a fun summer inspired card.
I started the card by creating a Doll Pink card base, then I used the Stitched Rounded Rectangle die and cut one out of white card stock and one out of Doodlebug patterned paper with some sweet treats. Next, I used a new die set called Nested Hexagons, and die cut three windows out of the patterned paper square.
Then I stamped the penguins from the So Cool stamp set, one in each window, and did some simple Copic marker coloring and white gel pen accents. I added some shimmer and shine to each little penguin using some clear Wink of Stella glitter and glossy accents. Then I popped up the patterned paper with some foam tape. I heat embossed two of the sentiments from the same stamp set in white on black card stock. Finally, I added sequins to finish off the card. I hope you were inspired to try out some Pink & Main stamps and dies! Have a wonderful day!
