Pinkfresh Studios Release

Hey everybody and welcome to a super awesome release from Pinkfresh Studio! Today's release is a stamp, stencil, die and hot foil release and there are some incredibly stunning products! Today I'll be featuring the new Lush Peonies and Garden Roses suites.

Now first of all, if you aren't familiar with how Pinkfresh does their releases let me give you a little info. These releases have stamps, layering stencils and coordinating dies. They sometimes have coordinating hot foil plates too! This is incredible bc the whole product line works seamlessly together... but, each of the elements works on their own as well. That means you can purchase only the products from the suite that best meet your needs (but you've got the option to go all out and get it all).

On my first card I used the Lush Peonies stamp set and paired it with the coordinating die set. I stamped the large floral image onto watercolor paper in black pigment ink and then heat embossed it in clear.

I used my Arteza Watercolor Markers to watercolor the image and then I added some extra details with a black sharpie and a white gel pen. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut the image out.

I used the Essentials: Pretty Frames Die Set to create a white frame for behind my floral piece. Then, I used the Celebrating You Hot Foil plate and coordinating dies to add a sentiment to my card. I adhered all of the pieces together with foam adheseive, splattered the background with White Glimmer Metallic ink from Hero Arts and called it good!

My next card features the Lush Peonies stamp set again but this time I used the coordinating stencils to color in the floral image. Now you can see what I was talking about when I was telling you how cool the product suites are and that you can use them separately or together (you can use this five piece set of layering stencil without the stamp set too!). On this card, I heat embossed the image in silver onto Hammermill cardstock.

Next, I used my layering stencils to color the image in with inks and a blending brush. For this card I used:

Flowers: Sunshine, Sweet Mustard, Summer Shower, and Sparkling Rose

Leaves: Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll

It was so easy to achieve a soft, beautiful look using these ink colors. I cut my flowers out with the coordinating dies and set them aside.

I used the Diamond Hot Foil Plate and some silver holographic foil to create my background. I lightly inkblended the background with Aquamarine ink to add a little bit of color. My sentiment was hot foiled in black using the Celebrating You Hot Foil Plate and dies. To finish my card off, I adhered the florals with foam tape. Where ever they hung off the edge of the card I cut them off and then used those pieces to fill in the borders of my card (nothing went to waste!). The final step was to add that bold, shiny sentiment in the middle.

For my last card I used the Garden Roses Stamp set as well as the coordinating stencils and dies to create a beautiful slimline card. This time I stamped my floral in Rose Pigment Ink from Hero Arts and heat embossed it in clear. Then I used the stencil set to inkblend with the following colors:

Flowers: Sunshine, Apricot and Bubble Gum

Leaves: Grassy Knoll and Aquamarine

Then, I die cut the image out with the coordinating dies and set it asside.

Next I used the Slim Stitches die to die cut a textured background from white cardstock. I also stamped a sentiment in black and then cut it out using the Essentials: Folk Edge Circle Die Set. This set is great because it also allowed me to cut the perfectly sized detail circle frame for my sentiment. I lightly inkblended it with some Aquamarine and adhered them w foam tape.

To finish my card off I added the Slim Stitches background to a light blue cardbase before adhering my sentiment piece with foam tape. Then I used foam tape to add my florals to the borders. Again, I cut off the excess floral bits and used them to add flowers to the bottom, right of the card.

Here's a close up so that you can see how incredible these flowers look when stenciled. All the extra texture from the dies is really pretty too and was so easy to add.

Ok, you guys, that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed the cards and had a fun look at the brand new release from Pinkfresh Studio. I hope you all have an amazing day and a great start to a wonderful week!
