Hi guys, welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio new release blog hop! I’ve got a bright summery card to share today, made with PFS’s new Plumeria stamp, stencil, and die sets. I used a stencil from the Kaleidoscope set for a wide stripe of dots down the center, then arranged my tropical flowers on either side. I also took this opportunity to use my yellow glitter gel on my flowers.
I colored the flowers first, so let’s start there.
- I started with smooth white cardstock and stamped the plumeria image using gray ink. I left the stamp where it was in the stamping platform.
- I used the Plumeria stencil set to color the image. For the leaves, I used all of the PFS’s blue-y Amalfi Coast colors and the yellow-green Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll, and Key Lime. I kept the darker colors close to the base of the leaf, which helped lend a curved appearance.
- I used Lemon Whip, Sunshine, and Sweet Mustard for the blooms. I made sure to leave a portion of the petals white, with no ink, so that I could use Sparkling Rose or Turquoise on some of them.
- After I colored them in, I returned the image to the stamping platform and used Detail Black to highlight the detail more.
- After that was dry, I used Stickles Starshine glitter gel with one of the stencils to give the centers of these tropical flowers bold yellow centers. I let that dry, then I used the Plumeria die set to cut them out.
- While the stamp was still in the MISTI, I decided to silver heat emboss the flowers onto vellum just to see if I liked the effect. I ended up making two vellum bouquets.
Now, we’ll make the backing panel.
- Again, I started with an A2-sized panel of white cardstock and used a stencil from Pinkfresh’s previously released Kaleidoscope stencil set. I used Detail Black again and shifted the stencil four times to get that exact pattern.
- I taped the panel to an A2-sized cardbase, rounded the corners, and used small spots of glue to adhere both vellum bouquets to two corners of the card, and cut off any overhang.
- Then, with my colored image, I used repositionable tape to hold the bouquet in place where I wanted it and cut off the excess. I repeated the process on the opposite corner and used foam tape to adhere them to the card.
- I got the sentiment from the Plumeria stamp and die sets and used two layers of foam tape to pop it up in the center.
- I used PFS’s Sunshine yellow jewels to add a little more color to my card. And I was done!
I love the combination of black and white with bold tropical colors. I hope you’ve been inspired to make something new today. Thanks so much for stopping by!
