PFS-Lemon Lush Background Stamp┃Encouragement Cards

Happy Saturday Friends! On today’s blog, I’ll be sharing with you these 2 encouragement cards that I’ve created showcasing the Lemon Lush Background Stamp by Pinkfresh Studio so, without further ado let’s jump dive into today’s blog post ↓

To begin with, I started by placing a Strathmore Watercolor Cardstock panel inside my stamping tool. Then, I placed over it the Lemon Lush Background Stamp. Once, the background stamp was in place, I picked up the stamp with my stamping tool door, and I added to the card panel Embossing Powder Tool because, I was going to stamp the background stamp image with Embossing Ink creating that way a sticky surface for the Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder to stick to it. Right after the stamping, I added the embossing powder and I heat set the powder with my Heat Embossing Gun Tool until the powder was completely melted.

After my first card panel was completed, I repeated the same step to gold heat emboss a second card panel in the same exact way as I did for the first one. So therefore, after heat embossing the second card panel, I placed one of the card panels on my Mini Media Mat and I made a quick and easy water-coloring with Pink, Yellow, Orange, Green, Gray and Peach hues.

Right after when the water-coloring on my first card panel was complete, I set it aside and I water-colored the second card panel in the same way that I did on the first one. However, I made slightly changes which you’ll see below when we get to the second card. So, after the water-coloring process was done, I set the card panels aside to dry.

In the meantime, I stamped on a piece of white cardstock the Lemon slices, Strawberries, Leaves and the Straw from the Sweet Lemonade Stamp Set using; Sweet Mustard Ink Pad, Olive Ink Pad, Grassy Knoll Ink Pad, Passion Fruit Ink Pad. As soon as I was done stamping the images, I ran them through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine along with their coordinated dies. Then, after the die-cutting pieces were finished, I gold heat embossed over translucent vellum the bottle, and last but certainly not least, I white heat embossed a sentiment both included in the same set. Lastly, I trimmed the edges down (W 3-3/4’’x H 5.0’’) from one of the card panels, and I mounted the card panel with foam mounting tape to an A2 top folding white card base. Finally, to finish the card off, I adhered some of the die-cutting pieces with liquid glue and some with dimensional square adhesives (as shown above) as, a finishing touch I glued down here and there Yellow and Pink jewels from my Essentials: Crystals Mix for a sparkly touch.

As, I mentioned early here you can see the slightly changes that I made for the second card panel. (White little flowers instead of Pink and Pink berries instead of Gray)

So therefore, I trimmed down the edges from the second card panel and I mounted it with fun foam to an A2 top folding white card base.

To create the focal point for this card, I ran through the die-cutting machine the small die from the Essentials: Braided Oval Die Set to die-cut the oval out of white cardstock. Lastly, I gold heat embossed a sentiment in the center, and I mounted the oval with foam mounting tape in the center of the card. To finish the card off, I glued down here and there Pink and Yellow jewels to complement the look for both cards.
