Pinkfresh Studio - Watercolor Rainbow Card

Hello friends! I am back on the Pinkfresh Studio blog with some fun and easy water-coloring in rainbow colors. I could make two cards using the images from one stamp set and that really is a time saver.

To start, I created the background using yellow and pink watercolors. I kept the color concentration towards the edges for an ombré effect. Once dry, I die-cut a white card using the Elongated Lattice Coverplate die. Adhere to the panel using 3d foam. 

Die-cut a vellum circle using the circle die from the Mini Slimline Essential Bundle. Stamp the images from the Peony Fantasy stamp set onto watercolor paper using watermark ink. Sprinkle opaque white embossing powder and heat set.

 To color, apply water using a brush to one image at a time, add touch of watercolor in rainbow colors. Let it dry and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Stamp the sentiment with Detail Black ink from the Joyful Day stamp set, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Assemble the images and the sentiment using 3d foam.

Since, I had some colored images, I decided to make another card. 

Create a light background color wash using pink and blue watercolor. Die-cut the Ornate Circle from a white panel and adhere to the background panel using 3d foam.

Adhere the images and the sentiment with 3d foam and add this panel to a light yellow cardbase.


Hope you give this a try and have fun with watercolors. I used the watercolors from pinkfresh studio, which will be coming soon but you can also use watercolors from any brand. I like the one from Altenew too, which I have linked below. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Pinkfresh Studio - Stencil Two Ways

 Hello everyone! I am so happy to be on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today with two fun ways to use the new Border Stencils. I paired them with Cheers stamp, dies and stencils. There are so many techniques the stencils can be used for, so they are quite versatile.

The theme for June challenge is Ombré/ Gradients, so I decided to keep my theme based on that.

Sponge Lemon Whip, Marigold, Sparkling Rose and Raspberry Bliss inks onto white card layer using the horizontal stripes border from the stencils.To get a nice and crisp effect, I used the 1/2 inch blender brushes for this process.

Next, use the Twist Pattern press plate without ink to get subtle texture onto the stenciled piece. Die-cut using the co-ordinating dies. Make sure to keep all the negative pieces. Adhere the twisted pattern to a white layer using re-position adhesive and add the negative pieces to the white panel. Add 3d foam to the twist pattern and adhere.

Stamp the images and sentiment  from the Cheers stamp set using Detail Black ink. Sponge the images using Lemon Whip, Marigold, Sparkling Rose, Raspberry Bliss, Waterfall, Grassy Knoll, Olive inks through the co-ordinating stencils. Die-cut using the co-ordinating dies. Adhere to the card. I also added some vellum leaves die-cut from the Curvy Leaves dies. To finish, I added nuvo crystal glaze to the ice and some Ice clear drops to the card.

I created another card by using the diagonal stripes to create a pattern.

Sponge Seaside, Waterfall, Key Lime through the stencil. Wipe the stencil and turn it upside down and sponge Sparkling Rose, Apricot, Lemon Whip inks to create the pattern, wipe the stencil.

Next, cover the inked stripes by slightly moving the stencil, apply nuvo glimmer paste through the stencil, let dry. Die-cut a vellum circle from the Mini Slimline Essenential Bundle and create the cluster using the images from the Cheers stamp set. Adhere to the card.

Stamp the sentiment from the Happy Vibes stamp, die-cut  using the Happy Vibes dies. To finish, I added some vellum leaves.

 Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Sunny Studio - Happy Birthday

Hello everyone, I am on the Sunny Studio blog today with a happy, CAS, rainbow theme card featuring the Stitched Square dies. This card can easily be masculine theme and by changing the colors, we can make it more feminine or monochromatic. 

I started by die-cutting the small squares using the 2nd. smallest die from various colors of cardstock. Next I used two of the bigger dies and created a white frame to make all the squares look as one focal image.

Stamp the sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings onto black card using versamark ink, sprinkle WOW! opaque white embossing powder, heat set. Cut the sentiment in a stripe and adhere in the center using foam tape. Adhere this piece to a grey mat layer and then onto white cardbase. I stamped the butterfly onto vellum from the Watering Can stamp set, sprinkle white embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
