PFS Golden Sunflower

Posted on by Liz

Who doesn’t love a good sunflower stamp? Here is a new Lemon Queen Sunflower (this and all following links are affiliate links) from Picket Fence Studios. I’ve stamped it in pale ink and coloured it up in a no-line version. The lined version has very prominent lines and a dark centre, so it should be fairly easy to colour up. I’ve coloured it up with Copics and then used some coloured pencils of the top.

Once again I’ve played with inks. This time I did it on the card base with three different shades of yellow. I wanted it to be subtle, yet interesting, instead of having it in a plain yellow colour. To make it fairly visible I’ve used one of the rectangles in the Double Stitched Rectangle dies set to cut out the coloured panel. I wanted to show a fair bit of the background without cutting off too much of the flower at the same time.

I’ve stamped on a sentiment from the Fancy Congratulaions set and then put on some sequins from the Candy Corn sequin mix.

We’ll have a close-up look at it as well.

PFS Witchy Flying

Posted on by Liz

As I wrote in the other post: I’ve had fun playing with inks and stencils for the new Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links). Here I’ve used the same purple inks to ink blend the background, as I really liked how it turned out for the other card! I’ve added some water splatter this time, though. I did make sure I had a white border around it this time.

First I covered up the moon to keep the back of it nice and white before using a pale ink to colour in the shadows of it using the Haunted Moon blending stencil. Then I used the Flying Witch A2 stencil, but masked out the other parts to only use the witch itself. And then I selected a few of the bats from the Bat Crazy 6×8 stencil and masked out the surrounding ones to make the bats look like singles. I love that they have different shapes.

For the sentiment I used the alphabet dies from the older Double Stitched Rectangle Dies set. I cut it out a few times and then stacked them to give them some dimension before gluing them on in a rather wonky way. Then I wrote in the other words to go with before added a few stars from the Pumpkin Patch sequin mix at the end.

A side on view that shows the word spooky raised from the paper so they kind of look like they are floating.

And then a close up photo as well.

PFS Spooky Halloween release

Posted on by Liz

Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) is out with one massive release. It’s very spooky and autumn themed, and it also has quite a few florals. Isn’t that just perfect? I’ve actually chosen to play with stencils, die cuts and colours for my release cards this month. First I will show you this spooky house card and tomorrow you will also find a witch card on the blog!

I started by ink blending the background by covering the area for the moon so it would have any ink on it. I ink blended straight onto the card base and made sure it covered well all the way to the edges. Then I used the Haunted Moon blending stencil and a pale coloured ink to make the moon. Later I die cut the A2 Ghost House cover plate die a few times and glued them together for dimension. Before gluing the top layer I embossed the Boo! sentiment. The sentiment is from the Ghosts of Halloween Past set. A few pretty purple sequins from the I’m Alive embellishment jar finished off the card.

Here is a side-on view of the card. You can see the house is raised from the background. That is because I have cut it out three times and glued them together.

And here you can see a more detailed photo.

PFS Budding Roses

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.

Here is another photo of the card

PFS The Best Dirt

Posted on by Liz

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.
