Pinkfresh Studio, Stencils & Turnabouts

I have a few cards to show you today, starting with my entry for PFS Monthly Challenge.  I used the theme of stripes & gradients with all PFS dies.  

The Color Block Stripes pieces were brushed with Distress Oxides candied apple, abandoned coral & saltwater taffy.  Probably this combo has been done before, but I just ended up with it looking for inks I have that could make a gradient.  Now I want to use them on a blended background!  Delicate Wreath die cut was double embossed in WOW White Twinkle ep which gives an incredible sparkle!  

I tried a variety of combos for the sentiment from Classic Holiday Words & ended up liking the white shadow with silver metallic words.  The matching embellishment dots were made by inking up scraps in the 3 DOs, clear embossing them & then diecutting with the berries die from Layered Wreath.  I have a bunch more dots ready to use, so I plan to use them as berries on some wreaths. 

Next is my entry for TTTC180 using the diagonal row of Stencil, Sentiment, Berries.  I love Gina K's Stellar Snowflake stencil & wanted to try using it with blue & purple Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists. 

I call it an artsy look, but to some people it's probably messy--haha!  Anyway, I like it, so cut down the panel & splattered with Distress Stain Tarnished Pewter.  I love the shimmer from the Mists & Stain. 

The frame is PTI Pierced Feature Frames Rectangle & the silver embossed berry branches are from PTI Spruce & Sprigs.  I used old circle dies for the sentiment from GKD Festive Flowers.  Luckily I had the right shade of purple cardstock in my stash for the purple mats.  Tried various embellishments & really liked the Spellbinders silver dots.  I'm also entering SSS Monday & Rudolph Days.

Recently I made cards with a couple of my CN9 Turnabout stamp sets & posted them on IG.  Love how they turned out, so thought you might like to see them.  First is the Wreath Turnabout stamped in PTI Scarlet Jewel, Sweet Blush, Honey Nut & Simply Chartreuse.  I restamped each turn until I had the color intensity I wanted.  

I'm loving this color combo, even thought it isn't a traditional one for Fall.  I brushed the card front to match.  The stacked sentiment is from Spellbinders October 2020 Small Die Kit.  I covered the word in shimmer & added tiny pearls.  

Stacking & adhering the delicate word was a cinch using SSS Micro Dot Adhesive sheet.  I'm always going to have that on hand!

The other card went to my sister who has a big birthday tomorrow!  I wasn't sure an ombre pallette would work for Turnabouts, but I just love it!

I picked the color because I happen to have an Altenew set of 4 teal ink cubes.   I stamped the separate branch from the set using the 3 lightest shades & stamped Winnie & Walter's "birthday" in the darkest.

The W&W Happy diecut was double embossed in WOW Embossing White Twinkle ep.  I added shimmer to the branches & embellished the card with clear dots.  Think my sister is going to like this one.
