Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Picket Fence Studios blog! It´s Silvana here and today I´m sharing with you a simple shaped card with one of the newest dies from the March release.
The card features the new Like a Wildflower stamp set. I stamped the cute image with embossing ink and used gold embossing powder. I colored it with watercolor pencils, to give a subtle shade of color. This stamp set doesn´t have a coordinating die, but enjoy fussy cutting.
The card base is made with one of the dies from the Basic Die Cutting set 1. It´s the largest dome die. You can easily do that, just start with a top folded A2 card base, put the die over and slide it a little bit off the folded edge, that way the die will cut all but the fold, and secure it with tape. Run it to your diecutting machine a few times.
You´ll need an extra single dome shaped piece for the background. I didn´t have cardstock that matched with the scheme color, so I colored the background with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
I glued it onto the cardbase, trimming the little excess. I wanted a little detail for this card so I did a little hole in the dome part and put a gold eyelet and a piece of silk ribbon and tied it with a black and white twine bow.
To finish the card I added a heat embossed sentiment from the same stamp set that says "Wildflowers write their own stories" thinking of a good friend.
I hope you liked this card and encourages you to make your own shaped cards. I leave you below the list with the products I used in this card.
Thank you so much for stopping by and reading!
See you on my next post.
Silvana.

Hello everyone, today is Monday so we start another week with lots of inspirations, and we are looking forward to the new release tomorrow, we are very excited. Today I have a Front Pocket Shaped Card with this butterfly as the main character.
To create my butterfly shaped card I used Soar Butterfly Die. For the base I shaded the color pink and light blue with the stencil Slim Line Sea Scales and for the pocket I chose A2 Pierced Blanket Cover Plate Die . I decorated with Sequin Mix - Beach Vibes.
This is a simple but impressive card and can be useful in many occasions, hope you like it!!!
And we look forward to seeing you tomorrow for the February release, with lots of creations and news!!!
