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!
