Scene building for folks who struggle with scene building!

May 5, 2021

Scene building for folks who struggle with scene building!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop for their newest release! The card I’m sharing today is all about scene building. I have never felt super confident with my scene building skills. But we all have to start somewhere, right?

The new Nautical Stamp set and coordinating dies are just so sweet and simple and I knew they would be easier for me to color with my alcohol markers.

In my tutorial today, I’ll walk you through my entire process when trying to build a scene. I’m still learning about scene building, and I make a few mistakes along the way, but the finished card turned out pretty darned cute!

Here is my tutorial:

HOP GIVEAWAY: Pretty Pink Posh is giving away three $25 gift certificates, chosen from comments left along the three days of the hop, one from each day. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 5/9/2021. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

    What a fun card! It was fun watching you take some turns in your creative process. When I try to do that I usually regret it, but it definitely worked for you!

    OMG!! You made me laugh so hard at the end!! I just did the same thing the other day. Had my whole card done & then f’ed it up at the end. But, just like you’ve shown, there are always tricks to save your card. Love the card & thanks for always being real!

    I have a question! I was finally able to order the Gina K Blending brush set (YAY!). Now I’m wondering about using them with different brands or types of ink. I know you keep yours color coded and don’t wash them often, simply cleaning them off, which is great, but what if you only have one set of brushes for ALL of your inks? Would you wash the “pink brush” after using it on a pink dye ink, before using it on a Distress Oxide pink? Or would it be enough to clean it off on paper first, and then wash it after the project is completed? What about pigment inks?
    I am SO excited to be getting them in….can’t wait!!! thanks!
