Pink Fresh Studio has become one of my favorite stamp companies. They hosted two challenges yesterday for World Cardmaking Day. I managed to finish a card for the first challenge: favorite technique.
One of my favorite techniques is to color images, and I'm also a fan of watercolor backgrounds which I don't do often enough. I combined both with this stamp set from Pink Fresh: "Aviary." I love the whimsical images in this set.
After watercoloring the background on Tim Holtz watercolor paper, I die cut it with a Spellbinders rectangle die and stamped the sentiment (also from "Aviary.")
The individual images were also watercolored and die cut with the accompanying dies. Before I adhered the background to the Soft Stone card, I dry embossed a slightly larger Spellbinders rectangle to create a subtle frame.
The final step was to arrange the three images. I used a bit of dimensional tape under the cute bird.
We're off after church to the Finger Lakes with a friend for lunch and to pick up our fall order of wine from Boundary Breaks. Hoping it doesn't rain.
