Pinkfresh Studio February 2021 Stamp, Stencil and Die Release Blog Hop

Hello Friends! Boy am I in love with these new coloring stencils for how easily they allow you to color in stamped images, and this Pinkfresh Studio release is chock full of them! I picked three different layering stencils to work with, and am anxious to share them with you.

You may have come from the blog of Keia Shipp-Smith, but if not feel free to start at the beginning with the Pinkfresh Studio Blog.

Sure, you can absolutely color in these stamped images with watercolors, alcohol ink, colored pencils, but there's something so satisfying about using these sets of stencils that let you blend all the color immediately onto the card.

This beauty is the Friendship Blooms Stamp, designed by my friend Alex Syberia, and has to be the most frilly, detailed stamped image I own. It's amazing!! And better yet, the coloring stencils have all the frills figured out for you. All you do is blend!

Coloring an image like this with watercolors would certainly be fun, but let's be honest, the immediate gratification of blending through a stencil is irresistible. And you get perfect results every time!

In addition to these amazing blooms (there are three of them, and five different leaves), this set comes with a host of useful sentiments. I've used one of them here, and love how it's different than anything I already own, without being so "odd" that I'd struggle to use it. A fine line for sure!

The floral image on this card is actually completely made with the Rustic Floral Wreath Stencils (no stamp or coordinating dies) and qualifies it as a one-layer card (as long as you don't count the panel).

I was tickled to see how well another one of Alex's sentiments from the Friendship Blooms set fits in the center of the wreath. And how the word "bloom" is directly above all those fresh yellow blooms! A simple card with a lot of impact.

Finally, this card features a stunning floral swag from Infinite Blooms designed by another talented friend, Emily Midgett! I was so relieved to see coloring stencils for this intricut arrangement, and was impressed with all the tiny details that are captured.

After some basic ink blending through the stencils, I went in with some colored pencils to quickly add more shadows to the flowers and leaves.

The two different sentiments are both from a new set called Happy Birthday Sentiments. If you thought you have enough birthday sentiments already, I'd encourage you to take a second look. The secondary sentiments in this set are fantastic, and really are different than what I already have in my collection. I'll be reaching for this one often!
