Hi and welcome to my blog!
Today I am excited to hop along with Pinkfresh Studio and friends, to celebrate the fabulous August release.
You should have come here from the fabulous Emily Midgett, and the next stop is the amazing Heather Hoffman! If you get lost along the hop, you can find the entire lineup via the InLinkz LINK.
I have a few cards for the hop, but I also made a video! Hop on over to my Youtube channel if you want to check that out.
Now, for my actual cards I have used the fabulous Happy Dance suite, which is a gorgeous floral set. I do love my florals, in case that wasn’t obvious at this point, lol!
The first card is very simple, I heat embossed the outline stamp in white embossing powder, and used the layering stencils on top to add colours.
On top of the ink blending, I splattered some gold water colour for extra sparkle.
I also finished it off with a sentiment from the stamp set, and a hot foiled ‘bestie’ from the Phrase Builder: Hello Hot Foil set. It’s foiled with Matte Gold foil, and it worked so well with the rest of the card.
I usually use the coordinating diecut to cut out the images, but here I left it as an almost one layer card.
I did make up for the lack of layers and texture on my second card though!
On this one I heat embossed the outline stamp with gold embossing powder, and then added a rainbow look with the layering stencils.
Once I had used the coordinating diecut on the image, I cut out another two pieces to layer it up. I also used the gorgeous Dotted Scallop cover plate on a piece of white card stock, and I also cut out a Stitched Scallop Rectangle piece too.
The ‘friend‘ is hot foiled with Matte Gold foil too, and the sentiment is the same as the first card, from from the Happy Dance stamp set. Would you believe I stopped myself from adding bling, though?? Say whaaaat?
That’s it from me for today, but I hope you will enjoy the rest of the hop and don’t forget that you can win the ENTIRE RELEASE from Pinkfresh by commenting on their release blog post, and also the release YouTube video!! As always, there are also TEN $25 gift vouchers up for grabs along the blog hop, so the more you comment, the bigger chance to win!
Winners will be announced on Aug 23rd, on the Pinkfresh GIVEAWAY PAGE, so make sure to earmark that URL and the date, as you will need to claim your prize within 2 weeks.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, and have a lovely week!
Lots of love and happy crafting from Erica
