Hi there!
Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio September Stamp & Die Release blog hop! To celebrate there is a fun blog hop to inspire you and introduce you to some of the latest designs.
To make the hop even more fun Pinkfresh is hosting an amazing giveaway. One lucky winner will receive the entire September stamp & die release. To enter to win, please follow along with our blog hop and leave a comment on EACH post along the way! Comments will close at 11.59pm CST on Monday October 2nd 2017.
The winner will be randomly selected and announced on the Pinkfresh blog on Monday October 9th 2017.
I created a few cards to show off today.
First up, I couldn't wait to stamp and color the full-card-sized image from Happy Holidays.
I used the MISTI tool to stamp the image, so that I could get a really good impression. I wanted the letters to be c-r-i-s-p.
I kept the color palette to light browns and reds and used a light copic marker to draw in some rolling hills to give some depth to the image.
I couldn't help but color the girl a second time, cut her out and pop her out a bit. I just think she is the sweetest!
Even un-colored the image is so cute. I could see making a set of folded cards to give out as gifts.
The next card I made uses the fun set, Simple Joy.
This Santa is in relaxation mode! I imagined him reading a few thank you notes or the paper on Christmas morning? I colored his sweater red, because you can't take that color away from Santa! and gave him a pair of jeans to wear (rolled up, hipster style! ha.) My favorite is the fading of his jeans on the butt! I used a colorless copic marker to remove some of the blog from that area.
I thought the graphic background worked nicely with the fun Santa! I cut out a circle where Santa could rest on the card base and popped up the patterned paper. I used a warm grey copic marker to color around Santa, so that he would stand out even more.
Instead of stamping a sentiment, I used Pinkfresh stickers to highlight that this scene is happening on Christmas morning.
I hope you like my cards!
It's time to hop on over and see what the rest of the team dreamed up:
