Kia ora Koutou
I enjoy colouring with alcohol markers but sometimes it is good to use stencils to colour my images as it makes it quick and easy to make a card. When I first got this Pink Fresh Studio Nothing But The Best Stamp & Die Set I wondered how it would look with a die cut edge when I saw a video that Bibi Cameron did on YouTube here using acetate to make a die cut edge be more stable. So I used the same concept but just did it a little differently and I was very happy with how it turned out. I added an extra layer of the die cut edge on top as well as another layer of the flowers to add some dimension to the card.
I also had some fun with embossing the Plaid Press Plate. using my Platinum machine and the lovely soft finish to the embossed edge came from a happy accident. I had tried inking the plate before embossing but it did not work out well and thought I had cleaned the plate but it wasn’t and it came out with this lovely soft aqua colour and it just worked so well with the colours I had used in the flowers. Especially as I had used an aqua colour (Turquoise) to ink the images first and also with the sentiment. I added a 1 1/2″ x 5 3/8″ strip to the bottom of the inside back to be able to show up the flowers better.
I struggle with leaving a lot of white space and as I had some of the plaid embossed card left I added a small strip and another coordinating plain aqua strip to the top of the card to cover the lacy edge from the Pink Fresh Studio Lacey Edgers 1 Dies.
