Happy Tuesday, crafty friends! This month I'm excited to be guesting with WOW! Embossing Powder. For my second guest post this month, I have a fun rainbow gradient card to share with with you! I love how these new Lacey Edgers 1 dies from Pinkfresh Studio almost make it feel like a pinata! These dies just released yesterday, and are part of our May Essentials release. Check out THIS POST if you'd like to participate in the blog hop and enter for your chance to win lots of giveaways!

To start this card I painted the ombre stripes to (2) blocks of smooth Bristol cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolor, then dried them with my WOW! Embossing dual heat tool. Once they were bone dry, I diecut them with the Lacey Edgers 1 dies and layered to the front of a white cardstock panel, popping just each bottom edge up with foam tape. Then I applied a light wash of Zig glue to the bottom of each edge, and lightly sprinkled WOW! Sparkles in Bridal to them. Then I adhered this entire panel to a white A2 card base.

Next I diecut the bow from white glitter paper using the Partial Cut Bouquet & Bow die set from Pinkfresh, assembled it and adhered it to the left side of the card. Then I diecut the word Hooray from the Classic Words die set three times from white cardstock, stacked & adhered them together with a Zig glue pen. I tapped it directly into the WOW! slow drying embossing ink pad, and covered in WOW! Under the Sea embossing powder. I heat set it, then adhered it to the right side of the bow. 

To finish, I accented with a few trios of flat-backed jewels in coordinating colors. These are the new Essentials: Jewels Mix from Pinkfresh Studio, and I just LOVE them. I had some influence over the colors picked for this set, and I am SO happy with how they turned out.

I really hope that you enjoyed my card today using some of the amazing WOW! Embossing Powders, Sparkles, ink & heat tool! I think their products are a perfect fit with all the amazing new items we've been releasing at Pinkfresh Studio...don't you? That is all I have for you today! I wanted to invite you to follow me on social media for you get on with your day. I would love to be crafty friends!

Happy Tuesday, crafty friends! I am so excited to be a guest for WOW! Embossing Powder this month! For my first guest post I have a set of simple cards that pack a punch thanks to some beautiful embossing powders from WOW! I've paired them with a brand new stamp set from Pinkfresh Studio called Through The Trees, and they truly are a perfect fit!

I started by prepping three heavyweight white cardstock blocks with a powder tool. Then I stamped & heat embossed the forest scene to each one using WOW! Embossing Ink, and embossing powders in the following colors: Midnight Dream, Vintage Peacock and Under The Sea. Then I heat set them with my new WOW! dual speed heat tool.

Next I prepared all the sentiments, choosing three of my favorite ways to create them! For the Midnight Dreams version of the card, I prepped black cardstock with a powder tool, then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment to it with WOW! embossing ink & Opaque Bright White super fine embossing powder. Once set, I trimmed it into a thin strip.

For the Under The Sea version, I prepped a block of vellum with a powder tool. Then I stamped & heat embossed the sentiment to it with WOW! embossing ink and Gold Rich Pale super fine embossing powder. I also trimmed this one into a strip, then wrapped it around the middle and adhered it.

For the Vintage Peacock version, I stamped the sentiment directly to the middle with some onyx black Versafine.

At this point it was time to assemble the cards. I paired each embossed tree block with a coordinating A2 card base, and adhered it to the front with foam adhesive. I popped the black cardstock sentiment up with a thin strip of foam tape, then accented each card with coordinating jewel trios to finish.

I really hope that you enjoyed my card set today using some of the amazing WOW! Embossing Powders, ink & heat tool! These turned out beautifully, and I could see them created in ANY of the amazing WOW! Embossing Powders. That is all I have for you today! I wanted to invite you to follow me on social media. I would love to be crafty friends!
