Tuesday Morning Sketches #679

 Hello!  Thank you for stopping by.  I do appreciate your visit.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a nice and an easy one.

My cards - I made four! features Go For It from Pink Fresh.  I treated myself to a birthday gift a couple of months ago to this set and am just now getting around to using it.  I got the stamps, dies, hot foil plate, stencils and dies.  I am only using the hot foil plate and stencils. 

I made 4 cards - I figured the Glimmer machine was hot, might as well use it.  I did 2 pink, an orange and blue card.  Two of them I used matte gold foil and the other 2 is shiny gold foil.  It's impossible to photograph foil, so you have to trust me, IRL these are so pretty!

I did use the Intertwined Lattice embossing folder, which is Spellbinders Aug 22 folder of the month.  I smeared ink on the folder and then ran it through my Big Shot.  This is the debossed side.  The sentiment is from the August Glimmer Kit of the Month from Spellbinders.

The two pink cards I used the light tone one card and the mid tone on the other card.  I used 3 ink colors on each of these cards and 2 for the leaves.  All the inks are from Altenew.  Layering stencils are my new favorite way to color images.  These make you look like you really know what you're doing!

In hindsight, I think I'll use watercolor paper for this background technique so that the ink smooths out.  When you wipe dye ink on plastic, it just pools and splotches.  Still, I am very happy with how they turned out.
