Hello Friends! So glad you're tuning in! Today is a very special day- as we are celebrating the Pinkfresh Studio and Hero Arts collab with a fabulous blog hop! You should have arrived here from the talented Illina.
Today's gorgeous stamp set, You Make a Difference, is a set created by these two amazing companies...
And I don't think the results could be any prettier!
Hop along to see all the ways to use this stamp, and don't forget to leave a comment on each stop, for your chance to win the set, or one of the other fabulous prizes!
For my card today, I decided to keep things simple and just color away!
I know that sets like these can be intimidating...So I wanted to try a really loose coloring style, that requires very little skill or special experience. I hope it helps inspire some coloring of your own!
I started off my card by stamping the gorgeous floral frame in black, and using my Prismacolor Premier coloring pencils, Staedtler Double Ended markers, and Zig Real Brush markers to add in bits of color to all the blooms.
If you don't have all three on hand, do not fret! Any color mediums will do. I mixed these three simply because the colors I was looking for were not available in a single set.
I also made sure to use my Zig markers without a water brush, so that the strokes would match some of the other marker accents.
For my sentiment today, I decided to throwback to a favorite Pinkfresh release, featuring these gorgeous Classic Words. But this set comes with heaps upon heaps of gorgeous sentiments that would look just as lovely. Here's a quick peek!
I also added a bow using the Partial Cut Bouquet and Bow set, for a feminine accent.
