Pinkfresh Studio January Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone!!

Welcome to Pinkfresh Studio's January Release!

I am sharing three cards today featuring the Gatsby Die Set.

I used the die differently on all three cards and you can see that it looks gorgeous and SO dramatic no matter how I use it.

For my first card I used black cardstock for the intricate die and gold foil cardstock for the base die. I die cut these twice and adhere it to a panel.

I die cut the letter "M" from Adore Alpha Die Set in both gold and black. I used the outline of the gold and the solid "M" of black and adhered it to my card front.

For the sentiment, I used Scripted Bold Sentiments 2.

Sentiment on this card is from Oval Foliage Wreath.

For this card I used gold foil to cut the intricate die and the base die was cut out of black cardstock.

The sentiment on this card is from Scripted Bold Sentiments 1.

I hope you liked my cards! Please leave a comment below as you can win a $25 gift certificate!!

Winner will be announced on January 20th.

Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Heloooo!!!

You must be here from the fabulous Kathy Racoosin's blog!

Altenew is releasing their new set of Watercolour Brush Markers!!

WOOT!

OMG! I am so excited because these colours are GORGEOUS!!

Here is the card I created to share with you!

I started by heat embossing the image from Sketchy Floral Stamp Set in Crystal Clear Embossing Powder.

I used Rouge, Ruby Red and Citrus Burst to colour my flowers. For the leaves I used, Emerald and Citrus Burst.

To colour my background, I used a mix of Lagoon, Persian Blue and bits of Ruby Red.

After I was done watercolouring, I let the panel dry and then I added water splatters which I sopped up with a tissue paper. In the end, I added very fine black paint splatters and stamped my sentiment. I also added a few clear drops.

Pinkfresh Studio January Challenge

Hi there everyone! I have a clean and simple card to share with you for the Pinkfresh Studio January Challenge. This is a special challenge since this is a Year in Review challenge. We were asked to create a project following any of the themes from the past year!

For my card, I chose to go with Fussy Cutting/Die Cutting and the gorgeous palette of October 2018.

For my card base, I used the gorgeous ombre paper from Indigo Hills 2 6x6 paper pack. I love this paper pack and haven't gotten around to use it till this project. This works perfectly to balance the colourful image.

To start, I heat embossed the image from Lush Greenery Stamp Set in white on watercolour cardstock. I used a bunch of distress inks to watercolour my image. After diecutting I adhered it to a piece of white cardstock strip and then used foam tape to mount it on the card base.

Before mounting the die cut image, I heat embossed the sentiment in white. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set.

To finish off, I adhered a few sequins.

Spellbinders Release Blog Hop

Hi there everyone!

You must be here from the lovely Jennifer Snyder's blog.

I have two projects to share with you featuring the Square Medallion Tiles from Marisa Job's Collection.

I used the die to make a gatefold card. I die cut the die twice in black and then layered it on gold foil cardstock.

I attached a ribbon to tie it up.

I added another panel inside on which I heat embossed a sentiment and added a gold outline for interest.

For my next card, I used the same Square Medallion Tiles Die as a background piece.

For this card, again, I die cut the die twice in white and adhered it onto a panel. Next, I adhered this piece onto a card base with foam tape. 

For my floral arrangement, I dyed the blue flowers and sprinkled some glitter over them. I glued everything down with hot glue.

I adhered the sentiment with foam tape and to finish off, I added a few sequins and a couple of butterflies.
