I have a bit of a mashup for you today - three seasons are represented ... let's start with Summer as I'm just not willing to let it go quite yet!
Marcia's lovely PFS Honeysuckles got 'pressed' again before they have to go 'home'... and before I even think about investing in the liquid watercolor inks from Pinkfresh, I decided I should try water coloring with their inks...
Not only did they perform well, but I was also even able to mix them for
the green I was looking for!
Here's a tip: use your press plates to dry emboss -
HOWEVER, cut first, then press!
This gorgeous detail on yellow was completely destroyed when cutting it using
the PFS Framed Floral Arch die.
So, for my next arch I used the lesson I had learned the hard way!
The mid-sized arch die was cut then debossed with my
PFS Ornate Medallions cover plate.
The smallest of the arch dies was cut again from white and a lovely
sentiment from PFS Detail Leaf set was stamped in black.
A sprinkle of PFS Jewels and my card is complete!
Thanks again, Marcia, for sharing your wonderful kit with me!
I'll share this one with my friends at Four Seasons- Summer:
It's nearly the season of BOOS... here's another Halloween card made with some seriously old supplies in my stash... Altenew Alphas and MFT's Trick or Treat!
I split the sentiment by masking and added the ? with a marker.
Then it's back to Christmas in August! First up a little 'kraft-y' mini slimline card...
Then an afternoon's batch of Gina K Precious Poinsettias!
I stamped the layers and used a finger-dauber to add a little
shadow to the center of all of these - except for the first...
...that first? My favorite: Copic colored - but it's hard to color as many as I need!
Quite the 'potpourri' of cards, right? This is how my crafty days have been lately - I think it's just too pretty outside to be inside for long! I'm really missing shopping, too!
Thanks for spending a bit of your time with me!
