Pinkfresh Studio - Creating Cards On Dark Backgrounds

 Hello everyone! I am on the Pinkfresh Studio card blog with two cards featuring the Vines and Roses product suite. I normally create pastel, vibrant cards but the dark backgrounds have their own elegance, so I decided to share two card designs.

I used various colors of stripes to add pops of color to this design.

I started by using the Dotted Petals press plate, inked it with Regal Kiss ink and took the impression using the Betterpress Letterpress system. Next, I die-cut this piece using the Notched Corner Frames dies. Adhere the stripes diagonally.

Stamp the images using Vines and Roses stamp onto vellum using versamark ink, sprinkle white embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut using Vines and Roses die.


Add color to some of the leaves and flower using copic markers and create a cluster. Stamp the sentiment using Detail Black ink, die-cut.

Stack three more die-cut for some dimension. To finish, add some Enchanted Forest Glitter Drops.

For the next card I used the Vines and Roses washi tape. I love the rainbow color effect. 

Adhere the washi to a white card, die-cut using the coordinating dies.

 

Die-cut a vellum label using the Basic Label Frames die set. Adhere the stamped sentiment to it using 3d foam and now adhere the vellum to the panel.



This is such an easy card to make but the gold foiling on washi and the details make it look so elegant.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day.

Pinkfresh Studio - Mini Slimline Shaker Card

 Hello everyone! I am on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today with a mini slimline shaker card featuring the beautiful Sakura Stamps, Dies and Stencils. This bundle also comes with beautiful washi, which helps create cards in no time.

To start, I sponged a white panel from top and bottom using the Summer Shower and Seaside inks. Dab seaside ink onto mat and with a wet brush flick some splatters, then add splatters using the White ink. Die-cut this panel using the Mini Slimline Essential Bundle. Next, die-cut a circle from this piece. Adhere this circle piece to the white cardbase.

Stamp the images using the Detail Black ink. Sponge the images using (Sparkling Rose, Raspberry Bliss, Mulberry Blush, Grassy Knoll, Olive, Spanish Moss) inks through the stencils. Die-cut using the dies.

Stamp the sentiment and die-cut it. Adhere a piece of acetate behind the inked panel. Add 3 d foam all around the circle, add some Glitter Drops: Blush and Clear with Gold Dust Gems. Add another piece of acetate to close the shaker window. Adhere this layer to the card.

Using liquid adhesive, insert in the sentiment into the opening. Create the floral cluster as per the liking by adding some parts of the extra images. Adhere these to the card and the shaker card is ready.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Pinkfresh Studio - Masculine Cards

Hello everyone! I am on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today and decided to share masculine cards using similar products. I used the Fluttering Butterflies Stamp, Washi, Fluttering Butterflies Dies, Notched Corner Frame dies along with the Stippled Plaid press plate, Happy Vibes Stamp, Happy Vibes Dies.

First I decided to use a soft and happy color palette.


I started by using the press plate with the Betterpress Letterpress System without inking the plate for a soft texture. Next, I used masking technique and sponged inks (Rocky Slope, Sky Blue, Lemon Whip). Inking inks this way enhances the texture of the plate and I love the clean straight lines for a boy card. Adhere this panel to a light blue cardbase. 
 

Next I stamped the image onto vellum using watermark ink, sprinkle opaque white embossing powder, heat set. Die-cut the image. Add color to part of the image using alcohol markers.

Stamp the sentiment from the Happy Vibes stamp set using Detail Black ink, die-cut. Assemble the cluster and adhere the sentiment using 3d foam.


For the 2nd card, I used a bold color palette, still keeping some softness. 
 
 
I applied Stargazer ink to the press plate and used Betterpress system to get the effect. Die-cut this panel using the Notched Corner Frame die and adhere to a blue cardstock. 
 

Die-cut a smaller white panel, sponge Lemon Whip ink to the top and Hydrangea ink to the bottom. Adhere to the card using 3d foam. Adhere the Washi to vellum, die-cut.

 Vellum gives a soft and beautiful look by keeping the washi texture. Create the cluster. Stamp the sentiment using Stargazer and Opulence inks, die-cut and adhere to the card.



Hope these cards gives you some inspiration on how we can easily create masculine cards with very different style by using the similar supplies.

Have a nice day!
