For my first card, I created a watercolor wash using Pinkfresh new watercolors and watercolor paper (releasing soon). I then used one of the patterns from the Border stencils and sponged sage, peach fuzz, sparkling rose inks through it. 

Stamp the image from Be Fearless stamp onto watercolor paper, using Calico white ink, sprinkle white embossing powder, heat set. Color using the watercolors, let dry. Die-cut using the coordinating dies.

 Use the Decorative Frames press plate with black ink and take the impression. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Use one of the frame and adhere to the card using foam tape. Adhere the flowers, stamped sentiment and some Blush clear drops to finish the card.

For my next card, I stamped the image using black ink. Then, I used the layering stencils and sponged peach fizz, peony, sparkling rose, ocean breeze, waterfall, paradise inks.

Using the last of the stencil for florals, I applied some glitter paste to it and let dry. Die-cut the images. I also stamped the image onto vellum, white heat emboss and die-cut.

I used black ink and sponged it through the diagonal stripes onto white card, clean the stencil and turn it to the reverse side and sponge ink again to get the pattern. 

Die-cut the arch from a peach card. Using a size smaller of the arch die, die-cut onto the Glacier glitter cardstock. Adhere all the layers to a white cardbase. Next add the images and the sentiment. To finish I added some Pixie Dust ombre glitter drops.

Spellbinders - Bayfair Collection

 Hello everyone! I am sharing a few cards using products by Spellbinders from the Bayfair collection. It was fun to combine the gorgeous floral dies with the patterns from the paper pad and the sentiments from the stickers pack.

For the first card I kept the flower dies as my focal point. I used two patterns from the paper pad to create the background. Die-cut flowers and leaves using various colors of cardstock and adhered to the card. To finish, I added some flicks of gold ink. The sentiment is from the sticker sheet, love the gold foil look.

For the next card I die-cut the pattern paper using the postage die. I also created a frame using the dies from the mirror gold cardstock. I used some of the floral and leaves dies and adhered them to the direction of the sentiment.

For the last card, I used a deep red cardstock, sponged aged mahogany and fired brick distress ink to the edges. I also used the Lattice die from the Lisa Horton collection. Create the floral cluster using colors of your choice.

Hope you liked the creations. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Pinkfresh Studio - One Layer Card using Masking technique

Hello crafty friends! Today I am on the Pinkfresh Studio card blog with a colorful one layer card using the masking technique. I feel, sometimes we need one layer cards for easy mailing and this is where this masking technique comes to play. I used the beautiful Amazing Things stamps, dies and stencils.

I started by stamping the image twice using the Detail Black ink and the Amazing Things stamp set onto a white panel. Next, I used the Amazing Things Stencils and added inks to the image. I used the Blending Brushes (1/4th and 1/2 inch).

Ink colors I used:

Flowers (Lemon Whip, Apricot, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum, Berrylicious, Candy Violet, Waterfall, Sapphire)

Leaves (Grassy Knoll, Key Lime, Waterfall, Berrylicious, Sapphire)

Next, using the Amazing Things dies, I die-cut two masks from masking paper. You can use copy-paper instead and adhere it with temporary adhesive Adhere the masks to the image. Sponge Sky Blue and Waterfall ink to the background. Flick some water and white paint and let it dry.

Remove the masks and see the beautiful one layer image with white outlines. Stamp the sentiment from the Joyful Day stamp set. 

To finish, adhere some Ice clear drops and adhere this panel to a white cardbase.

Hope you liked the process of easy to mail, one layer card. Thank you for dropping by and have  nice day!

Pinkfresh Studio - Partial Die-cutting Technique Cards

Hello everyone! I am happy to be back on the Pinkfresh Studio Blog today with two cards featuring the partial die-cutting technique. The Never Give Up stamp is perfect size for the technique and the Joyful Day and Diagonal Plaid press plate complimented the project beautifully. The challenge theme for May is "Flowers", so this is an added motivation to use these gorgeous floral image.

To start with, I used the Diagonal Plaid press plate and created the pattern using Peach Fizz and Coral Reef ink with the Better press system. 

I then stamped the image from the Never Give Up stamp set using Detail Black ink. Use the coordinating die and instead of putting the second cutting plate above it, I used the cutting plate from mini die-cutting machine and put it on the center of the panel. This would cut only the center parts of the die, remove the extra using a craft knife to get the straight edge.

 

Take this panel and using the coordinating stencils sponge inks (Grassy Knoll, Paradise, Soft Lilac, Begonia, Coral Reef, Mulberry Blush, Peony, Sparkling Rose, Raspberry Bliss) to the image. 

Stamp the leaves from the Joyful Day stamp using watermark ink onto vellum, sprinkle opaque white embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere parts of it behind the floral image.

 

Next I added vellum to the plaid piece to soften the background. Adhere the floral panel using foam tape.

Stamp the sentiment from the Joyful Day stamp, die-cut. Add a coral color die-cut slightly off-set and using 3d foam add to the card.
To finish, I added some Ombré Pixie Dust glitter drops. 

 

For the next card, I stamped the image to a white panel onto one corner using watermark ink, sprinkle opaque white embossing powder and heat set. Now put the coordinating die in place but put the second cutting plate on an angle towards the lower edge only. This would die-cut only the lower part of the image. Add color using stencils with these inks (Sage, Eucalyptus, Sunkissed, Peony, Soft Lilac) 

 

Sponge a panel using Sunkissed, Sheer Freesia and Soft Lilac ink. Stamp the image using sunkissed ink. Using the stencil, tap white ink to the leaves and the small flower. 

Adhere the embossed vellum leaves to the back of the floral panel and then this panel to the inked panel using foam tape. I used the sentiments from the Joyful day stamp.

To finish, adhere the panel to a white cardbase and add some Champagne clear drops and Ombré Twilight glitter drops.

Hope you enjoyed the technique. Thank you for dropping by!
