 Hello friends and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh October Release Blog Hop!  I love me some pink Christmas and today, I am sharing a slimline card featuring 2 new stamps from Pretty Pink Posh - Village Stamp Set and Village Additions Stamp Set . Let's get started! For the card panel, I cut the largest rectangle from the Heffy Doodle DL Stitched Trio  in white 110lb cardstock. This is the metric version of the slimline dies. I then placed a low tack tape on the bottom of the panel since I wanted the ground to remain white and ink blended the bottom with Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide Ink and the top with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.
