Hello fancy floral print card

By Leave a Comment

The story

I created this card as part of the Celebrate World Card Making Day with Pinkfresh Studio “Anything Goes” challenge.

Product/technique notes

I stenciled this background design using the Pinkfresh Studio “Fancy Floral Print” set and Distress Inks. Then I used a rectangle die to cut out a portion of the design in the bottom right corner, backed that with a matching yellow scalloped rectangle, and set it aside. To add an all-over handwriting element to the card, I used a Hero Arts background stamp and grey ink. I popped up the focal element, added the sentiment made with a combination of stamps and dies, and embellished with a few purple sequins.

The story

I created this card as part of the Celebrate World Card Making Day with Pinkfresh Studio “Anything Goes” challenge.

Product/technique notes

I stamped, stenciled, and die cut the Pinkfresh Studio “Sunflowers Washi” stamps. After ink blending the background with the same green Distress Inks, I embossed it with the Simon Says Stamp “Margot Tile” embossing folder (love). Then I used a sentiment from the sunflower set and embossed it with platinum embossing powder on the purple background card stock. It’s hard to tell, but I finished it off with a bit of Stickles on the berries.

I really enjoyed making this Thanksgiving card, which I’m entering in the Pinkfresh Studio October fall leaves challenge.

I stenciled and die cut the leaves with Pinkfresh Studio’s “Fall Foliage” set and Distress Oxide inks, stamped and fussy cut the pinecone from Jen Hadfield’s “Warm & Cozy” stamp set, stamped and ink blended the woodgrain background from Honey Bee Stamps and die cut it with a Pinkfresh Studio mini slimline die, and stamped and embossed the sentiment with a Making Memories set from 2009!

MFT color challenge swatch

Product/technique notes

I stamped the paisley images, colored them with Tombow markers, and fussy cut them. For the background I created layers of color and pattern by 1) ink smooshing with the colors in Distress Oxide inks, 2) stamping an additional image from the paisley collection in gray, and 3) adding the aqua polka dots through a stencil.
