Playing with Powder Puff Chalking Inks

Hello and welcome.

We have friends getting married, so it is time for a little romance. Quick Quotes new line, Windsong has just the right tones. Check it out:

Continuing my love affair with Powder Puff Chalking Inks, I brought out the warm colors of Fuchsia, Rose Petal, Orange Slice, Buttercup, Sunset and Leaf Green.

 

Stamping watercolor paper with Versamark and Winnie & Walter's Rose Garden stamp, I heat embossed the design with Ranger's Princess Gold embossing powder. Then, I smeared all the Powder Puff Inks on an acrylic block and with a little water on a brush, I dipped it into the inks and started painting the flowers.

Designer tip: Add several layers of  layers of ink on top of each other, letting each layer dry in between. This will intensify your colors and add depth.


The pretty frame was cut from Quick Quotes Windsong WS100 with a frame die, then matted on Windsong WS101. All the paper edges were chalked with Peach Tree and Rose Petal Powder Puff Inks. The banner sentiment was fussy cut from Quick Quotes Adventure Awaits Strip AD600 and popped up with 3L Foam Squares. To finish off this card, I added a fun metal brad, puffy heart sticker, cheese cloth, Pretty Pink Posh clear sequins and Verve Stamp's leaf diecuts.

The pink scalloped background was diecut with Winnie & Walter's Noelle Cutaways and the sentiment was diecut from Winnie & Walter's The Big, The Bold and The Party Cutaway.  I layered all of this on DCWV gold embossed vellum. To finish off this card I added 3 pink sequins and a ribbon bow.
