Here is my first effort in colouring the Pink Fresh Studio Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp Set with Copics and creating white flowers. I have taken my inspiration from Dawn Woleslagel using her colours to colour the flowers white without using grey colours. The colours I used tended more towards the warm side so I paired this with gold background and sentiment compared to my second card which was more cool. You can see this card here. I was quite pleased with my first effort and I will continue to learn more about Copic colouring. I have added some glitter to the flowers and leaves that coordinate with the gold glitter Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass die in the background.

Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp and Die set
We have just had Father’s Day last weekend in New Zealand and my husband was a keen sailor when he was young so when I saw the Fair Winds Collection by Dawn Woleslagle I had to have this collection. I loved how Dawn had created the whole package with stencils for a gorgeous background to the dies to create the scenes. The seagulls were sooo cute and the boat was so easy to put together. I have made several cards and some will end up being Christmas cards seeing as we have warm Christmas’ here.
I have used the Honey Bee Stamps 3D Embossing Folder – Burlap to create a ‘watercolour’ finish to my stenciled background and it really does look like the background is on a canvas. This was done prior to adding all the other elements which helped the images to pop. The Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Rectangle Etched Dies which look like. they could be ropes carried through the nautical theme to frame the boat.
I have added some shells to the base of the card from the Heartfelt Creations Sea Breeze Paper collection to give an extra ‘beachy’ touch to the posts, buoys, seagulls, and life preservers at the bottom of the card. I coloured clear Bitty Sparkles with black alcohol marker and added them as eyes to the seagulls.
To finish the card front I added some Star Dust Stickles to the sea for some sparkle on the sea.
I just couldn’t bear to add a sentiment to the front so I added the sentiment from the Spellbinders Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Press Plate and Die Set in the inside of the card.

A few weeks back I did a 3D pop up vignette using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet and today I have a card showing you how to use the same dies on a card front. I also wanted to show how easy it is to mix and match old and new Amazing Paper Grace by combining the newer Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Romantic Chargeour with the older Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet. The two dies fitted together so well that they could have been part of the same set. For my card this time I have gone for blush pink, rose gold and creams with lots of glitter for a very sophisticated and elegant card that could be used for so many different occasions. (I wish you could see how pretty this card is and how it just sparkles – my husband was really taken with it!) Once I had all the flowers made this card came together very quickly.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
For my project I have made a top folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I have layered blush pink card and rose gold pearl paper on the front of the card. To add more interest I have scored two lines on each side on the pearl rose gold paper.
I have die cut the large shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Romantic Chargeour out of pearl cream paper and adhered it to the front of the card. I then die cut the inner decorative dies out of the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Romantic Chargeour in pearl ivory paper and adhered it to the over the shadow base. I added the inner plain die on top of the decorative frame. I die cut the outer decorative frame out of rose gold glitter paper and adhered it to the top of the shadow with foam strips.
I die cut the bouquet from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet Etched dies out of rose gold glitter card and then die cut the small basket area out of rose gold pearl paper and embossed it before adding it behind the ‘basket’. I added the ‘stems’ made from blush pink to the basket and then adhered the bouquet to the front of the card using foam strips in the centre of the frame to allow the bouquet to sit level.
I used a mix of rose gold pearl paper and rose gold glitter card to make lots of flowers and added them to the top of the basket using various levels of foam squares for more dimension.
I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place Magnolia stamps in WOW embossing ink on rose gold pearl paper and heat embossed it with rose gold embossing powder. I then die cut the sentiment out using the tag die that comes with the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet Etched dies and adhered it to the basket as shown. I added a small heart from the same die set using the rose gold pearl paper and card and added it to the label as shown.
To finish the card I added a pink and gold silk ribbon bow to the top of the tag and added a pearl to the bow as well as on the heart, on the top of the basket and in the centre of the flowers.
