Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Howdy crafters, I'm having a crafty day - designing a cheese board layout for a friend, and some card making - all in all a great way to spend a Saturday! I'm giving some of my soon to be retired stamp sets some love before I pass them on, and on this sunny afternoon Sweet Strawberry got inky: I decided on to combine 2 sentiments from the soon to be retired Sweet Strawberry set, not only to convey my thank you message, but to also let the recipient know it really touched me with their kindness. This card really pops with Real Red, Just Jade and So Saffron, and the Abstract Beauty DSP really brought all the elements together. I finished by adding some sequins and twine bow - I'm going to miss this twine when it retires. Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month.  I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product.  I truly appreciate your support,...

I'm preparing for a hot one today (36°C, with it being even warmer tomorrow), so I have the doors and windows open before the heat sets in, I can hear lots of birds chirping - such a nice sound. That gave me inspiration to use my newly delivered Sweet Strawberry bundle, and join the Global Design Sketch Challenge : I also took advantage of the Sale-A-Bration offer and got the Berry Blessing Stamp set + Berry Delightful DSP, and I've used the DSP as the feature in my design today. To stamp the images, I did the "line" , then filled with second generation stamping using the "fill" stamp, this gave lovely tones on the strawberries. I punched out the images, then double embossed the matt layer with the Subtle Embossing Folder (turning 90 degrees after the first embossing) to create a linen like finish, then added a strip of the Berry Delightful DSP, lastly adding a little bling with a linen bow and some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots. Thanks for visiting today, I hope...
