Freesias Just For You with Pink Gem Designs

Hello everyone wishing you all a happy Thursday... I hope that your week is going ok....nearly the Weekend !

We are off on our local town group walk later on today and I'm really looking forward to stretching my legs.

Today I am sharing a card that I have made for for Pink Gem Designs using the beautiful Freesias digital stamp set .

This fabulous set includes 23 black Line art images and for todays card I have used the flower stems, leaves and separate flowers to create a spray of freesias for a one layer card.

I've used my favourite colours for my Freesias but this time I have used one of the digital papers from Pink Gem Designs to create my background.

The simple digital sentiment is from the Polkadoodles Winnie Daisy Fairy Greeting bundle to my panel before printing out on alcohol marker friendly card stock.

I've added my card to a larger 5" x 7" card blank, matting this with black cardstock.

I really hope that you like my card today and it would be lovely if you you leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Hasta luego 👋

Enjoy the rest of your day !

It's a Happy Whatever Kinda Day with Pink Gem Designs

Hello everyone wishing you all a happy Friday... I hope that your week is going ok. We had a lovely lunch out on Wednesday with friends at a Chinese restaurant on the coast - its been more than 15 years since we last had one and I had forgotten how much I love Chinese food! We'll definitely be going back.

Today I am sharing a card that I have made for for Pink Gem Designs using a digital stamp from the Freesias digital stamp set .

I absolutely love freesias, their perfume is beautiful and ours in the garden here are in currently in bloom so when I saw this new set of digital stamps I knew I had to make a card with it.

Its a fabulous set and includes 23 black Line art images but for today I have chose to use the flowers in a glass vase, for a single layer card.

My favourite colours of Freesias are yellow and magenta as I love the contrast of these two colours and I have have used my promarkers to colour these today adding distress ink on the panel for extra details.

I added a digital sentiment from the Polkadoodles Winnie Daisy Fairy Greeting bundle to my panel before printing out on alcohol marker friendly paper.

I had lots of fun colouring the water in the vase on this image and I'm really pleased with the effect
