Birthday, Everyday

Beautiful Branch

Today I am using the Beautiful Branch suite from Pinkfresh Studio.  I love how dainty and pretty the fine lines of this floral image are.  In the suite you have the option of purchasing the stamp set, the die set, the press plate and /or the stencil set.  I used everything but the stamp set, because I hot foiled my image.  To start, I hot foiled my floral image in Spellbinders Glimmer foil in Black Opaque.  Then I used the stencil set to color my image.  I used Pinkfresh Studio Sunshine, Marigold, Grassy Knoll and Olive inks.  Because this is only a two piece stencil set, we needed to add the shading on our own.  The ink blending went very quickly.  Then I die cut my image and it was time to start assembling.  I cut an arch frame from Pinkfresh Studio’s Nested Arches dies, 2 pieces of foliage from their Curvy Foliage die and dry embossed by main background from their Lush Vines Hot Foil plate.  My arch and my foliage I cut from Lawn Fawn’s Pixie Dust glitter paper.  This paper is so shiny and glittery, it’s amazing!  I figured out how I wanted everything laid out and attached it all to my dry embossed panel and then added my panel to my card base using Altenew’s foam tape, because who doesn’t love a little extra dimension?  I hot foiled a sentiment from Spellbinders More Sentiments, also in black foil, and then I added Pinkfresh Studio’s Glitter drops in leaf and I was done.  This card came together so quickly!  And that glitter paper really makes this card sparkle!  You can always change the sentiment to suit your own personal needs.  You can watch me create this card here.

If you know me, you know I can’t just do one.  I also did a couple other colors of the exact same layout.  I used Pinkfresh Studio ink for all my cards.  For my purple card I used Hydrangea and Opulence, plus Grassy Knoll and Olive.

For my pink card I used Sparkling Rose, Raspberry Bliss, Grassy Knoll and Olive.

For my teal / aqua card I used Turquoise, Paradise, Grassy Knoll and Olive.
