Have you had a chance to check out the February release at Picket Fence Studios? Today I am sharing two cards using two of the new stencils released on the 14th of this month. First up is this colorful Center Flower 6x6 Stencil. I used two colors of Distress Oxide Ink and my Life Changing Blender Brushes for the ink blended background. I stamped one of the flower groups and a sentiment from the previously released Que Sera Sera to finish the card. I used the Coordinating Die to cut out the flowers after they were Copic colored.  Next up...

Hello! When I'm not making cards, I'm a bona fide science nerd, so this Bird of Paradise (otherwise known as Strelitzia) stamp brings out the botany nerd in me.

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing this floral slimline card using Aurora Borealis stamp, Wild Peonis stamp set and the new Thank You word die from the February release. I heat embossed this image and added color using Copic markers.     Let's start! Using the Slimline Die Cutting System I die cut a layering base from white cardstock and heat embossed on top the Aurora Borealis stamp using WOW! Metallic Gold Embossing Powder. Next, I adhered a white folded slimline card at the back with glue.      On a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lbs....

Happy Monday! Slim Line cards? Yes please! And Slim Line envelopes? Double yes! I love having envelopes that match ready and waiting for me when I get ready to mail my cards.They come in rainbow and neutral packs which is so awesome! I knew exactly how I was going to make this card which is not always the case. First I stamped my beautiful lady and then masked off her face. I grabbed my Slim Line English Brick stencil and used three shades of pink, fading it out as I went. I avoided her hair and since her face was...
