Pearly Sparkles Challenge August ~ Floral

Hi Crafty Friends,
We have a new challenge at Pearly Sparkles.
This month we want you to share your FLORAL creations.
I watched a YouTube video in which Gina K shared a technique using white ink and double stamping which gives a faux embossed appearance so I wanted to give it a try.
Here's the result!

The first impression was stamped using Altenew Mocha.  Then I slightly offset my cardstock and restamped using white pigment ink.  I love the subtlety of the stamped image and it does look as though it's an embossed image.  Give it a try.

The background was made using a Spellbinders 3D embossing folder and the mats were cut using Jaded Blossom rectangle dies.

Hope you'll play along with us.

Pearly Sparkles June Challenge ~ For the Girls

Hi Crafty Friends,
New month and a new challenge at Pearly Sparkles.
Our theme for June is "For the Girls."
I've used several products from one of my favorite companies, Pinkfresh Studio.

The sentiment and washi tape floras are from the Enchanting Flora suite.  I love using PF washi because there is a companion die set making it so easy to cut out the florals and stamped sentiment.

I've also used a PF essential die for the sparkly frame and PF inks to blend the background which is a Spellbinders 3D embossing.

I hope you'll play along with us this month.
