Braided Tag Card

Sharing my card for the Pinkfresh Studio January 2021 Challenge - I was inspired by August 2020 Florals! I had a play with some of my Christmas goodies this week and made this floral birthday card! I decided to stamp and die cut some Pinkfresh Studio Lovely Blossoms as well as some floral ephemera from Pinkfresh Studio Days of Splendor.

I die cut the Pinkfresh Studio Braided Tag from some white textured card and stamped 'happy' from Lawn Fawn Meow You Doin'. The 'birthday' die is from MFT Birthday Wishes and I cut this three times from white card and once from blue metallic paper and layered them together for some dimension. The bow was made with the We R Memory Keepers 123 Punch Board.

Inks used:

Blue florals & 'happy' - Pinkfresh Studio Sky Blue & Summer Shower

Pink florals - Altenew Pink Diamond

Green leaves - Lawn Fawn Cilantro & Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide

I love how this card turned out and I will definitely be recreating with different colour combos!

Stencilled Slimline Card

Sharing a slimline card that I made for an upcoming card swap - full disclosure, this is the first ever slimline card that I've made *and* the first time I've used layering stencils!! And I am HOOKED!!!

I used the gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio You Are My Favourite Stencil which features some beautiful blooms and foliage. Onto some vellum strips I heat embossed 'Hello Friend' from Mama Elephant Paola's Wishes with Ranger Rose Gold Powder. I wrapped the strip around the card front and finally added some glittery Poppy Stamps Stitched Butterflies as an extra embellishment.

Inks used:

Pink flowers - Altenew Pinkalicious & Rubelite

Purple flowers - Pinkfresh Studio Lavender & Regal Kiss

Orange flowers - Altenew Chamomile & Marigold

Blue leaves - Pinkfresh Studio Sky Blue 

I love how my first ever slimline turned out, even if it is a little simple -  I'm looking forward to having more fun with these stencils!

2020 Christmas Cards

 

Sharing my Christmas cards for 2020, feat. Mama Elephant Oh Kitty Tree! I started by masking off little hills for the kitties to sit on and then went about creating pink shimmery snowy backgrounds by ink blending Altenew Pinkalicious & Rubelite Inks and then splattering with Pinkfresh Studio Candy Violet Ink and White Gouache and finally adding some Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz. 

The images and sentiment were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black Ink and coloured with pencils! I foam mounted the kitties onto the backgrounds and added some Wink of Stella Glitter Gloss Pen to the little ornaments and Santa hats!

I'm so happy with how these turned out - I do love non traditional colours for Christmas!!
