Just Because (Pinkfresh Studio)

Hi there!

I have a one-layer floral number to share with you today:

Just because (Pinkfresh Studio)

I used images from Pinkfresh Studio to create the card: the flowers from Always Flowers, and the sentiment from Bird With Flowers in the middle.

I started out by stamping the corner floral cluster into each corner of my card-front. Then, I tediously created masks (tip: I cut layers of masking paper at once to speed up the process) and stamped in the straight-lined flower arrangement to fill in the gap at the top and bottom.

At first, I thought about stamping more flowers to the left and right to create a true frame, but I thought that would look too busy.

Once the flowers were colored, I used a light blue copic marker to trace around their outlines. I lightened and softened that blue line by coloring over it with a colorless copic marker (0).

To create more interest, I flecked one some light brown ink before stamping in my greeting.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Pinkfresh Studio Technique Talk blog hop

Hi there!

I'm excited to be joining Pinkfresh for an entire blog hop devoted to showing off stamping techniques.


I went a little old-school and used small floral images to stamp out a full background. Here is my DIY patterned paper:

I used 2 little flower stamps, both from the new Sweet Treats stamp set, to stamp an entire card-front. The 3-flowered-cluster image had little black dots around the flowers, so I used a black pen to add more dots at the end to fill up the space.

I then used copic markers to color in the florals. I used pinks for the larges flower and colored the trio in violet, yellow and a lighter pink. The entire background got colored as well, in a soft blue/grey.

My favorite patterned papers are the ones that look a little vintage. So, to bring a bit of that quality to this paper I shaded the edges with a soft brown ink.

As a final touch, I used the same brown ink and flecked it onto the entire area.

Yeesh! My brush is in bad shape, haha.

I hope you like my little tutorial. It's fun to see what you can do with the smaller stamps in a set! To end off, I added a sentiment from another new set, Bird With Flowers, and some bling by way of a few sequins.
