Good morning! Today I’m hopping along to celebrate the March release from Pinkfresh Studio and it is full of gorgeous florals!! I’m sharing a card using the pretty Bougainvillea cling stamp!
To start I smooshed distress inks in dried marigold, festive berries, and abandoned coral onto a piece of scrap plastic and then pressed it to a piece of watercolor paper. I repeated the process a few times until I had a soft background. Then I stamped the Bougainvillea cling stamp onto the paper and heat-embossed it with gold glitter embossing powder.
I watercolored the flowers with abandoned coral and festive berries distress ink and the foliage with chipped sapphire and black soot distress ink but realized quickly that I had applied too much color in my first layer and hadn’t given myself much room to go from there. So I switched to using copic markers to add some shading to the leaves and petals. I wish I could have finished the card with watercolors but it’s good to be flexible, right?!
Once my panel was done I trimmed it down to 4″ by 5.25″ and adhered it to a navy card base. I stamped a sentiment from My Favorite Things to Say Volume 2 heat-embossed with gold embossing powder on navy cardstock. Then I added a tangle of gold thread onto the back and adhered it to the panel with foam mounting tape. A few metallic gold sequins finished the card with a little extra sparkle!
And that’s it for me! Make sure to check out the new release and all the giveaway details below!

Very striking with that red.
Absolutely gorgeous! I love that you embossed your gold, as I haven’t invested in hot foiling yet…..😱
What a gorgeous color palette and card! The copics look amazing with the watercolor.
Lovely! The gold foiling is especially pretty with the red flowers.
What a gorgeous color pallet. This is great inspiration to stretch myself to colors I don’t typically use!
Hi, Jessica – Love this stamp / stencil set. I will be choosing a couple of items to get on my own and still hoping to be chosen for a gift from this hop. I love your card. That red is so rich and striking.
