Pinkfresh Floral Cards - So Versatile

 I've been a big fan of Pinkfresh Studios stamp/stencil/die sets!  Recently Pinkfresh had a sale and I purchased a few sets.  Got to tell you, when you color your images with stencils and coordinating inks miracles happen FAST!  I was able to stamp, color and die cut lots of flowers and leaves very quickly.

Quick tip: using Pixie Spray on back of the stencils moves things along!  First I stamped Friendship Blooms on 110 lb paper with amalgam ink.  Do yourself a favor and stamp lots!  Next is to apply the pixie spray to the back of the stencils - there are five.  Using PinkfreshStudios Ink makes color selection a breeze - as there are four shades in each color family.  For these flowers I used Coral Reef, Passionfruit and Berrylicious, for the leaves, I used Fresh Pear and Grassy Knoll.  Blending brushes make coloring fast, fun and easy.

Once I had several sheets colored, it was time to break out my Gemini Jr and die cut those babies.  And now it's time to make cards!  I searched my cover dies and selected two:  Hexagon Cover Stipple plate and Blueprint 27 - for these I chose white 110 lb card stock and some pale 110 lb Recollections card stock from Michaels.  Used my score tool to fold them.  I attached the card fronts with Bearly Arts Glue-my new favorite wet glue.  Now time to arrange the flowers and leaves and attach.  Using my MISTI, Choose Hope Stamp Set, and Amalgam Ink I stamped the sentiments.  Once that was finished, I added some embellies from my stash.  The cards are finished but I still have more flowers and leaves in different colors to make more cards.

Have a great day and keep on crafting!
