Pinkfresh Studio Watercolored Floral Border

Hello Friends and welcome!  I have a pretty project to share with you today featuring the Pinkfresh Studio Floral Border set.  I just loved how this project turned out!  I grabbed my Altenew Artists Watercolor set and watercolored these pretty blooms using a light wash of color them going back over intensifying the colors by adding another layer of color.  Once the floral border was dry, I die cut image using the coordinating die.  To add a little more interest to the background, I die cut a piece of MFT’s boysenberry cardstock then ink splattering a gold watercolor over the piece then die cut that piece also using the Floral Border die.  I next, stamped the sentiment then gold heat embossed.  To finish, I assembled elements and adhered to a matching card base then added a few gold metallic pearls.  Thanks so a much for stopping by…take care!

   Hello Friends and welcome!  I have a fun project to share with you today featuring these adorable mice from Lawn Fawn from their May 2023 mini release.  To begin, I trimmed a piece of Neenah solar white cardstock then ink blended Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink over a cloud stencil.  I began ink blending from the top of the panel and working my way down towards the bottom rotating the stencil as I went down.  Next, I ink blended a scrap piece of Neenah solar white cardstock using Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide inks before die cutting using Lawn Fawn grassy border.  To add a little more interest to the background, I flicked white gouache paint and Salvaged Patina Oxide ink onto the cloud panel and white gouache paint, Twisted Citron, and Lucky Clover Oxide Inks to the grassy border panel. I then began stamping these adorable mice before die cutting using the coordinating dies.  Next, I Copic colored images.  I then assembled elements onto the background then decided the placement of the sentiment.  I stamped sentiment onto cloud panel using Altenew Obsidian black pigment ink then adhered images using a liquid glue before adhering the whole panel onto a Neenah desert storm card base.  I hope you enjoy these cute mice as much as I do, they are “ Just Plane Awesome”!! Thanks so much for stopping by…take care!
