Drop By To Say Croak Scene Building

Hello friends!

Today is such a special day for me! My first blog post as a design team member for Picket Fence Studios. I have to say that I am pretty excited about this adventure, and I am most thrilled about being able to share all of my projects with you all.

I am sharing this one layered card I created using some new and old products from the shop for today’s project. The May 2022 release is absolutely amazing alone, but I think pairing them with older stamps and die sets can make them shine! I created this card using the masking technique, and I know that the technique can be quite daunting, but once you get the hang of masking, it becomes pretty easy to master.

I masked and stamped the adorable characters from Drop By To Say Croak stamp set with PFS Black Hybrid Ink and colored it with alcohol markers. I like using this ink pad because the ink works great with just about any medium. It’s wonderful with alcohol markers. To create the water scene, I used the Slim Line Ocean Stencil with my PFS Life Changing Blender Brushes and Distressed Oxide Inks in shades of blues and green. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Play Is Good stamp set in white with my heat tool.

There are so many different elements in this scene, and I think the best part is looking through your stash and adding additional components to your scene with what you have on hand. For example, I added more to my scene building by using an older set called Pond Scenery.

This card was undoubtedly labor-intensive in masking and coloring, but I think that’s the best part. It makes the card that much more meaningful. Don’t you agree?

Finally, I adhered it to a top folding card base to finish off the card.

And that completes the card! I hope you found some inspiration and make time to craft. Until next time!

Have a wonderfully blessed day,
Theary Chea
