PCW Sketch Challenge

The Papercrafter's Workshop has a monthly sketch challenge, so I am playing along with April's sketch today.  I am in 'use up' mode lately, so I pulled out these floral bits (Citrus Bloom by Pinkfresh Studio), that I had inked up a few months ago, and used them up!

I cut my oval out of some linen textured white cardstock, and inked up the top edge in pale yellow, and the bottom in pale green to coordinate with the flowers.  The sentiment is the Serenade Sentiments die set from Spellbinders, cut in a pale green cardstock that I did an ombre ink effect on, and layered it with a second die cut for some added height.

I am using the Inspirational Easter paper pack from Art Impressions, and I added a few irridescent jewels for some added sparkle.

Citrus Bloom Wreath

I've had these bits and pieces of the Citrus Bloom set by Pinkfresh Studio, stenciled and die cut - in my stash ready to go for a while.  I was debating on putting them into a wreath shape, and settled on a crescent moon style of wreath instead.

I pulled out my favourite shade of dark blue cardstock, and decided on a square card with a cut out circle center.  The white background was a bit stark, so I pulled out my Slumber ink that I'd used in the stenciling, and inked the center area of my card base.

I arranged the pieces around the edge of the opening, and glued them down with my Bearly Arts glue, then attached it to my card base with 3D foam adhesive.  I'm using the Serenade Sentiments die set from Spellbinders, and cut the words twice, layering them for a little dimension.  They were adhered into the center of the circle.  I splattered a little gold paint to finish it off.

Yay! Birthday

 I have another card made with the Citrus Bloom suite, done in pinks and plums this time.  I decided to experiment with my inks and frames to see what I could put together.  The sentiment is Perfect Sentiments, the frame is Stitched Scallop Rectangles and the background is from the Slim Stitches die.  All supplies are from Pinkfresh Studio.

Citrus Bloom

Last week I pulled out a new-to-me stamp set from Pinkfresh Studio, inked up a bunch of florals to have on hand for cardmaking, and today I made one of my colourways into a card.  Here is Citrus Bloom:

I created my background by using Ocean Breeze and Fresh Pear inks on the top and bottom, then ran the panel through my Big Shot with the Diagonal Stitched Plaid coverplate. I used four of the Braided Circle dies and cut out my decorative circle from some cardstock in my stash.  I attached the floral sprays to the circle, and popped everything up with some 3D foam adhesive.  I used some gold metallic paint to add some soft spatters to everything.  

The sentiment is the Perfect Sentiments stamp and die set, gold embossed, and I added some Sparkling Champagne Metallic Pearls to finish it off.  I am entering this into the April monthly challenge on the Pinkfresh Studio blog - which has a circle theme.
