Hello, sweet friends!
I hope your summer is off to a great start. I plan to use this time to learn a few techniques to apply to my card-making and memory-keeping projects. Learning to watercolor is at the top of my list.
This month, I am guest designing for Pigment Craft Co. Ivana, the owner and AMAZING designer of Pigment Craft Co., creates lovely craft goodies. Today's card features the Fruity stamp and die set. What I enjoyed about this set was the ability to use my ink cubes to create lovely layers of color for my stamped images.
The Fruit stamp set is comprised of solid stamp images, which makes abstract inking a fun technique to use with this set. For example, I inked the peach image using shades of orange first by applying a light orange dye ink and then going back and adding a darker shade of orange to the edges. Using ink cubes, instead of full-size pads makes it easier to do this technique. I continued the same steps with the other fruit from the set and also used the strawberries from the Berry Patch stamp/die set, a favorite for sure. The Pattern Builder: Budding Branches stamp makes adding background images a breeze. A simple sentiment completes this card. I feel as if this card is busting with fruity happiness!
Thank you for visiting! I hope you have a chance to visit Pigment Craft Co. and see some of the other lovely stamps from the June Release. And as always, don't forget to make something beautiful!
Happy Crafting,
Keia
