I have been so hooked on Pinkfresh Studios stencil layering sets and now they've come out with coordinating stamp sets to match the stencils too, so of course I had to invest in one of the bundles to try them out, and I chose the Infinite Blooms stamp, stencil, and die set. Here's what I came up with using Color Hues color combination of PEACH & GREEN:
I started with a white card base and added a die cut panel using Pinkfresh Studios Diagonal Stitched Plaid Cover Plate die and sponged around the edges with Peach Bellini ink (Gina K) to add some definition to the layer. Next I stenciled using the Infinite Blooms 5 piece stencil layering set with Peach Bellini, Coral Reef, Grass Green, & Fresh Asparagus inks (all Gina K). I used the coordinating Infinite Blooms stamp set to outline the whole floral image with Versafine Black Onyx ink and then die cut the image out. I added foam dots to the back to raise it up off the cover plate layer and add dimension.
A closer up view so you can see some of the detail better. I added some Distress Glitter and WOS to some of the flowers for a little sparkle and then added a sentiment strip embossed in white from Pinkfresh Studios Modern Layered Florals stamp set. A few Disco Ball sequins (Gina K) finished off my card.
Lots of beautiful inspiration from both DT's that you can check out HERE and HERE and then play along. SO much fun to create colorful floral cards when there's so much snow and COLD outside!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning, Marcia, I have been told to STOP buying products from a certain friend (because my birthday is coming up) and let me tell you, it is so hard to resist buying all these stencil sets because I know they will be OOS soon! *wink
