FMS403 and a Fun Sunday with PinkFresh Studios

When Pinkfresh Studios had a Hurricane Relief support day, I brought my stamp budget to help the cause!  It was a win-win situation, believe me!

First item in my cart?  Their gorgeous Eucalyptus Fantasy stamps, and coordinating dies.  When I get a new Pinkfresh set, I stamp, cut, stamp it some more then color them up and bring out all the other Pinkfresh sets I have and marry them together.  All of the images were stamped onto Bristol Smooth paper. 

[Ivana - you may have had a small bit of influence on me here! I'm trying to get my girly on! wink!]
 
Classic Edgers, and Braided Tags, were two of the sets I won over at Instagram... along with these spectacular gems shown here...
 
 
and the Copics I used - yeah, who knew Bristol smooth and Copics!?
 
 
Next was the gorgeous Eucalyptus door-topper included in the set.  Distress ink water coloring was used on my stamped/heat embossed panel, and again on a gold embossed image - more on that to come.
 
 
Fancy Label frames for the sentiment - and a bit of water color highlighting!

Here is that gold embossed image I mentioned ...

This sentiment is from December Days, as was
the center sentiment used on the wreath above -
I love the tiny little dies they provide for the sentiments!
 
Last but not least... a few leftover water colored die cuts... this time for Freshly Made Sketches #403!  I tipped it, and added a little sentiment strip, but Narelle won't mind... they're so sweet over there!  [there's that Lil Inkers wood grain again!]
 
 
 

Those three strips are cut with Waffle Flower Crafts Dome die set
 
It was a great weekend for playing cards with my newest set!  Thanks, Pinkfresh Studios for being such a generous part of this card making community!
 
Thanks to all of you, for stopping by - hope your weekend included a little crafty time - or anything that made you smile!

  1. Love every one of these, Michelle! Pinkfresh is one of my favorite companies & I'm having trouble deciding how to use my gc. Already had the Eucalyptus set on my wishlist & you're making me think it needs to make the cut!

  8. So pretty, Michele! Lots of pretty here. Get your girly on? For sure! Looks like you had a wonderful time. While I didn't get to get very crafty, I did laugh myself silly with the band director at the competition. It had to do with his impression of Cookie Monster and dancing? I dunno, you had to be there, but it was a nice release! :) Imagine Big Bird being Baby in Dirty Dancing, too. That was my contribution to the silliness. Hee, hee.

  10. Oh, how I wish I could Copic color like this, Michele! The eucalyptus wreath is gogeous! So are your watercolor door toppers. And I love, love, love all the texture and woodgrain strips on the last card! Looks like you had LOTS of fun!

  11. These are all so beautiful! I really love how you highlighted the word. ---- I actually used Bristol Smooth with Copics on my Seven Husbands/Library Challenge card and they worked great.

  13. Getting your girlie on...you need to do it more often if these are the results. Each one of these cards are so different from the one before. It goes without saying that the coloring is outstanding but the deft little touches...your eye for design, embellishment placement, use of just the right sentiments...all just knock me out. Love that you merged many products to come up with cohesive layouts. Marriages made in heaven.

  18. So much beautiful eye candy, Michele! I love how you used your Copics on Bristol and gold EP on the Eucalyptus...WOW! Clever idea to add 'highlighting' to your sentiment and I LOVE seeing your fabulous stitched woodgrain background again! You have completely outdone yourself once again, my friend!!!

  20. Such a gorgeous array of cards! And I always thought Copics on Bristol was a no no, but you've obviously proven is a yes yes!

  21. Wow, what a fantastic collection of leafy cards, Michele! I especially love the elegant color combo and the beautiful layers of the die-cut panels of the Eucalyptus wreath card!
    I never get tired of looking at wood grain background on your cards! Simply interesting and wonderful!
