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.
