Hi everyone! Were you able to join Jeff and me for the Create & Connect Craft Hour yesterday? It’s ok if you didn’t, you can watch the replay here: https://shurk.us/3KqW5rb
As promised, I wanted to share images of the card here for all of you.
I shared a special story about why I wanted to use this new Fuchsias Stamp Set from Pinkfresh Studio. My grandmother’s birthday is May 17th, and every year we always gave her a fuchsias plant. She LOVED them. She played a huge role in my life, I spent so much time with her growing up, and I KNOW some of my strongest personality traits are directly from her 💕 You can see a few posts I have written about her here.
Stamping the fuchsias which is all one stamp, on Distress Watercolor Cardstock, with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink (which is watercolor friendly). I then proceeded to watercolor with Pinkfresh inks Raspberry Bliss, Royal Kiss, Emerald City, and Meadow
I watercolored very loosely, not worrying if I filled in the image completely, or if I added shadow or dimension correctly. I shared how I did this on the YouTube LIVE you can watch it again here.
I then diecut the images and set them aside.
On another piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, I did a wet, drippy, inky background with Raspberry Bliss ink. Use a lot of water, and the Distress Sprayer to create the drips. I dried this with the Ranger Heat Tool. I trimmed this panel to be 4.25″ x 5.5″ and started to arrange all the fuchsias along the top and edges of the horizontal card. I made sure to have some go off the background, and then trimmed the excess off.
Once all the fuchsias were in place, I dusted the corner of the background with TRHD Cottontail Powder tool, to prime it for heat embossing. I then stamped one of the sentiments from the set with versamark and embossed it with Brutus Monroe Gilded Ultra Fine Embossing Powder. I recently got this powder and LOVE it!
I then matted the background onto some gold metallic cardstock and added it to a card base.
Lastly, I added some Pinkfresh Bubblegum jewels and then I heavily coated the pink parts of the flowers with glossy accents.
Thank you to everyone who joined Jeff and me live, or for taking the time to watch the replay! Thank you for the invite Pinkfresh, this was a lot of fun!!
