Hello there!
I’m so excited to share my first card for Pinkfresh Studio. If you missed the announcement on Instagram – I’m now a card team designer for Pinkfresh Studio (PFS)! Such an honor to work for such an amazing company! I got my DT package earlier this week and had to play with a few items before I organized everything. PFS has a monthly challenge and this month, it’s watercolor! Check out the July Challenge details HERE or click on the banner below.
PFS also recently released a line of liquid watercolors and it’s amazing! I thought I loved being able to mix dry watercolors with water to dilute, but the ease of liquid watercolors is so convenient – and you can still dilute to the lightness that you prefer. The colors are fabulous!
For this challenge, I stamped an image from the PFS Fleur 1 stamp set on watercolor paper. I then loosely watercolored the images using various colors from the liquid watercolor line (Bubble Gum, Emerald City, Aquamarine, Sunshine, and Lavender).
For the background, I used smaller foliage stamps from the same set in a spray pattern around a piece of 4.25″ x 5.5″ cardstock using Catherine Pooler Sea Foam ink. I had stamped on Neenah Cardstock, but took a chance and did a light watercolor wash over the entire panel to prevent peeling.
I die-cut the original watercolored image and adhered it to the card layer using dimensional foam tape. After embossing the sentiment in white embossing powder over some black cardstock, I added that to the watercolored image in an area that didn’t cover up too many flowers to give this card as much pop of color as possible.
I took a chance with loose watercoloring – I’m used to being controlled and being a perfectionist with it so this was fun for me! I hope you like this card. Please join me Monday for the Pinkfresh Studio July Release! Such AMAZING products that will surely WOW you!
XOXO,
