PFS Budding Roses

Posted on by Liz

It’s time for another card! But first off I’d like to mention the GREAT sale that is going on at Picket Fence Studios at the moment. 25% off everything lasts through today. Pop over to their homepage (this and following links are affiliate links) to start browsing your favourites! (Don’t forget to look at the tools section, Paper Pouncers and the free gifts!)

I’m back today with another throw back. This time I’ve coloured up the Budding Roses. Once again I’ve turned to pencils, mostly because I got some new ones that I wanted to try. I love the deep purple against the kraft card, don’t you?

I’ve used sequins from the Peacock Tails mix. The hello die comes with the Double Stitched Layering Rectangle Dies and the embossed sentiment is from the Tweet Tweet Friends set.

PFS The Best Dirt

Of course I have a full panel colouring for this month’s Picket Fence Studios (all links are aff. links) release as well. They are all stamps from The Best Dirt stamp set, and I have masked them together for a little scene. I’ve stuck with yellow, peach and pink colours for the dresses this time, and then used a card base to match the peach coloured dress. I’ve kept the full width of the coloured panel, but trimmed the top and bottom to stamp the sentiment in the top right corner of the card base.

PFS The Best Dirt (new release)

Posted on by Liz

New release day at Picket Fence Studios (this and following links are affiliate links) today! And I’ve got a fun card to show you. I’ve used the new 1.5″ Connected Squares Shaker creator die to create a diamond shaped pattern of windows for the cute girls from the The Best Dirt stamp set. I deliberately chose a completely different colour for the sentiment this time. The sentiment is from the Espresso Yourself stamp set. To finish off I used loads of foam pads to raise the panel and then some sequins from the Lake Tahoe Embellishment jar.

Here is a close-up of the colouring and the die cut windows for each girl.

PFS Tropical Cocktails

Posted on by Liz

There is a new Picket Fence Studios release tomorrow. Are you ready for it? Today I want to show you want of my favourite dies from the past release, the Tropical Cocktail Shaker die, so you know to grab this one as well tomorrow, together with the new stuff. I’ve made one card with it as a shaker cocktail, and one using just the plain die.

First off I’ve cut out the glass loads of times and glued them together to make the shaker card. The Cosmo sequin mix was perfect for it. I then coloured up the little pieces with my Copics. The background behind is just a fun play around with various glaze. For the bottom layer I ran this rich, deep coloured card stock together with the Tree Bark 6×8 stencil through my die cut machine to get a lovely embossed look. The sentiment has used the same coloured card stock to match in with the sequin mix I used.

Here is a fun card using just the plain outline die. I’ve cut it out in different colours and glued them partially on top of each other. I’ve kept the card mostly white to make the die cuts and embellishments stand out, so the sentiment is kept neutral to go with. View the list of all the products at the end of the post.

PFS Million Little Things

Posted on by Liz

I’ve had fun coloring up one of the new Picket Fence Studios stamps. The lovely flowers are from the Million Little Things stamp set. I opted for soft shades on the flowers to really show how different it can look when you take away those black lines. It also gives the card such a delicate look. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I’ve used a few pretties from the Banana Daquiri sequin mix.

There is a great sale going on, ending tonight (Monday 29th). Have you seen it? 20%, gifts with purchase AND the rainbow coloured Paper Pouncers are back in stock. Does it get any better than that? You can read all about it on their homepage.
