Pinkfresh Studio With Sympathy

Hi there!!

Today I'm sharing a card for Pinkfresh Studio June 2019 Challenge. The challenge is to either use the colors below or mix and match or both! I went with the mix and match part with my card. I needed to add some sympathy cards to my stash so I went with a sympathy sentiment. I mixed and match the following Pinkfresh stamps and dies: Embroidered Blossoms stamp and die set, Oval Foliage Wreath die, Oval Foliage stamp set.

I started by stamping and die cutting the flowers. I used a few Papertrey Ink pads: Ripe Avocado, Spring Moss, Terra Cotta Tile and Summer Sunrise.

Next, I used the Foliage Wreath die and cut some pretty dark pink card stock. I trimmed it about 1/4 inches short of a card base. Then I stamped and white embossed the sympathy sentiment.

I adhered the die cut panel to a white card base and then added the flowers and leaves. In the end I didn't add any sequins or enamel dots, decided that it really didn't need anything else!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

No Line Coloring with Crafter's Companion

Hello!!

I'm starting the week of with some No Line Coloring. I haven't done this in awhile but I saw someone doing it on Instagram and it inspired me to break out my gorgeous Crafter's Companion flower stamps!! My card today features the Beautiful Blooms set!

To make the image no line I used Spectrum Noir Inkpad Sandstorm, but I stamped it off first to make it a really light tan color. I stamped the image three times on a card stock panel.

Then I got to coloring! It does take longer because you have to be aware of the lines, doing a little at a time. I use the packaging as a guide to make sure I'm really coloring a petal the correct way. But, don't worry about being perfect! Only you know what the image should really look like and there were definitely places I color it a little different then the original stamp!!

To color the images I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers - Blends: Pale Pink, Light Yellow, Hydrangea, Dull Green.

When I was done coloring I stamped the Birthday Wishes with the SN Inkpad Noir Black. Last I added a few sequins for a little texture and sparkle!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I started with Jayne Nestorenko Die and Stamp Set - Follow Your Dreams! These are 50% so snap these up fast, I'm not sure how long the sale will last!!

After stamping the images I used the matching dies to cut them out. Then I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers to color everything up. I used the following of blends: Orange, Earth Brown, Light Green, Ice Grey, Ice Blue, Tan, Fair Skin.

Graciellie Designs - Happiness is Homemade

Hello!!

I'm stopping in with a card featuring a new digital stamp set from Graciellie Designs! It's called Happiness is Homemade and such a fun and versatile set!

I used Word to resize the lemonade jar and the small tag. I also included an sentiment making it small enough to fit inside the tag. Then I added the tag to the jar image and printed it out.

I used my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend to color the image, making my lemonade more of a tea with fruit! First coloring the fruit and straw, then coloring the whole jar with a light brown color.

Next, I made a card base from black card stock. I added a few different washi tape lengths and colors. From my stash I found this gold and white hello, so I added it and my jar to the card with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

National Iced Tea Day with Coffee Loving Card Makers & SugerPea Desings

Hello!!!

Happy National Iced Tea Day!! Coffee Loving Card Makers and SugerPea Designs have gotten together to celebrate with a blog hop!! You can start at the SugerPea Designs or you should have arrived from the fabulous Annette Allen's blog!!

Make sure to leave a comment along the way for your chance to win a $25 SugarPea Designs Gift Card!! Commenting closes on Saturday, June 15th at 11:59pm Pacific. The winner will be announced on the CLC blog the following week!

I made two cards featuring the Coffee To Go Cup die! While Coffee might be in the name, you can easily use it for tea cups like I did! I'm not going to go into a lot of details for the hop!

For both cards I made my tea cups, but using my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers to color the die cut cup brown. I used a coffee die cut from MFT to cut the ice cubes, using a gray marker to add some shading.  The straws are from the pattern papers I used.

With my first card I used Photo Play Paper Summer Daydreams collection adding a stripe pattern to a card base. Then I used a few stickers from the collection, adding them with foam tape. I also added one of the SugarPea tea cups that I made.

For my second card I got a little inky. I picked out a three Distress Ink colors that matched and blended them together. Then I spritzed a little bit of water over the background and finally splattered some gold ink spray I have.

I finished the card off with the SugarPea tea cup on some vellum and a tea sentiment below. Last, I added the inked panel to a white card base!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Your next stop in the hob is the amazing Erin Theim! And don't forget to comment for your chance at a SugarPea gift card!!
