Pretty Pink Posh is turning nine and to celebrate, a four-day blog hop in happening now, and you’re on Day Three!
For my card today, I kept the colors limited (purples and greens) and used my Tri-Blend markers for some very simple coloring. I am not the world’s best colorer! But, these markers help to take the guess work out of what goes together.
Here is my tutorial showing you how I created this card:
And now onto some hop fun! First, a special freebie with purchase:

Super fun and festive alligator birthday card!! I love my copics but if I don’t “practice” coloring on a regular basis, I forget the way to use them. So I love coloring up images before needing them just to do that!! And PPP critters are so adorable and so I love using them!! These new jungle critters are a must have as well as the new party hat stencil!! Super cute, Cathy!
