Morning all!
It’s my turn to set the challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week, and of course it had to be spring-themed! 😀
Stamp, stencil and die combo: Pinkfresh Studio – Farm Fresh
Sentiment stamp: Hello Bluebird – Spring Banner Script
Dies: Pinkfresh Studio – Pretty Frames 2 (r)
This project was the perfect opportunity to pair the Farm Fresh stamp, stencil and die combo from Pinkfresh Studio with some older supplies.
I started out by creating a peachy watercolour wash with Saltwater Taffy and Fossilized Amber Distress Inks on water colour card.
While that was drying, I ran the Pretty Frames 2 die from Pinkfresh Studio four times through my die cutting machine with Marshmallow Cardshoppe to create a stack of frames for this card and future projects.
I doubled up each frame to create a pop of dimension and left them to try under a large acrylic block so they’d stay nice and flat.
Then I white-embossed the flower outline stamp on white cardstock and used the stencils to add colour.
Once die cut, I went back with Antique Linen Distress Ink and created a subtle wash around the outside of the embossed lines so that the white outline would stand out a bit better.
I then cut the jars from Pale Rose cardstock and blended some Saltwater Taffy ink around the edges of the textured jar.
I stamped the jar sentiment on a piece of left over watercolour cardstock that has the pink watercolour wash on it, adding a twine bow as a finishing touch.
Then I took a few of the white frames and arranged them on my watercolour cardbase.
I stamped the Hello Spring sentiment from Hello Bluebird inside the frame and then used the other jar die cut to help me arrange the flowers on the card before adding the sentiment jar over the top.
Finally, I added the pink flower and some sparkly sequins.
Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Happy crafting!
