Hey everyone. I’m so excited to be participating in the Pink Fresh Studio August 2020 Blog Hop. This hop is full of wonderful inspiration. Make sure to follow along.
I have three cards for you today featuring new product from this release. For my first card I’m using the Thankful For Friends stamp set and die. I heat embossed the image in gold rush embossing powder. My color medium today is Daniel Smith watercolor pans. After the image was completed dried I die cut it from the watercolor paper. I backed the watercolor piece with black card stock. Next I inlaid the flower pack in popping it up with extra die cuts.
Now for my sentiment, I first stamped it in pink ink and then again in yellow finishing off with black ink. This allowed my sentiment to have some depth to it. Adding just a few embellishments and this card was complete.
My next card was created with the new Color Black Gradiating Stripes cling stamp. I love this stamp for the versatility you can achieve with removing a few of the stripes when you stamp. For this design I pulled out some of my favorite color inks and made stripes in various widths. Next I stamped out stripes in versa mark so I could heat emboss them in gold embossing powder.
Giving my card a nice edge I pulled out my stitched rectangle dies. I also ran a piece of grapefruit cad stock through my die cutting machine with a larger stitched rectangle die. Adding a sentiment to the card was a little tricky. So I decided to stamp and heat emboss it on vellum and wrap it around my striped panel.
These panels were adhered to a card base. Keeping the embellishments simple, I added a few gold flat back gems to the vellum piece.

The background for the card was created using the Doodled Dots Cover plate. I kept my palette all white which allowed the florals to be the main focus. Here are some close up shots of the card. For some added depth, I sponged on some buttercup ink onto the background to add a highlight behind the flowers.
For my card I ink blended a quick background for my image to sit on. Next I colored up the image with my Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. I stamped the greeting directly on the inked background and popped up my monitor image. I mean, how CUTE is this card?
Adding to the colorful theme I used the Magical Unicorn from InkOn3. I stamped it in Blackout Ink onto watercolor paper. To color my pretty unicorn I watercolored it with the same colors of Atelier inks I used for my background. Theses inks are perfect for stamps and work wonderfully with watercoloring.
