Pink Fresh Studio has become one of my favorite stamp companies. They hosted two challenges yesterday for World Cardmaking Day. I managed to finish a card for the first challenge: favorite technique.
One of my favorite techniques is to color images, and I’m also a fan of watercolor backgrounds which I don’t do often enough. I combined both with this stamp set from Pink Fresh: “Aviary.” I love the whimsical images in this set.
After watercoloring the background on Tim Holtz watercolor paper, I die cut it with a Spellbinders rectangle die and stamped the sentiment (also from “Aviary.”)
The individual images were also watercolored and die cut with the accompanying dies. Before I adhered the background to the Soft Stone card, I dry embossed a slightly larger Spellbinders rectangle to create a subtle frame.
The final step was to arrange the three images. I used a bit of dimensional tape under the cute bird.
We’re off after church to the Finger Lakes with a friend for lunch and to pick up our fall order of wine from Boundary Breaks. Hoping it doesn’t rain.
Looks like you enjoyed W.C.M.D. There was nothing organized locally so I was at home with my own stash. You make the multi techniques look so good.
This is gorgeous!! Love your watercoloring! Thanks for playing along with our Pinkfresh Studio WCMD challenges!
Ooo, that is so pretty. I’m torn about whether the bird or the blue background is the best part.
Oh, this is so pretty, Karen! Each element stands out against that fabulous background!
So cute – the watercolor background really pops and works great with those images!
