Kraftgali DT Project: Watercolor Block Technique with Pinkfresh Studios




Hello everyone!  Today's project is a technique I have been wanting to try for so long; the watercolor on an acrylic block technique. WOW what fun and super simple to do.  I'm using this adorable set from PinkFresh Studios as well, Birds with Flowers.  This set has so many great sentiments, and some really unique ones.  






It’s penguin-ing to look a lot like Christmas!

Hello everyone! Welcome to another blog post for Kraftgali!

When I saw Lawn Fawn’s Here We Go A-Waddling (LF1468) stamp set, I knew I just had to create a card that included these penguin friends image. I don’t know about you, but I know a TON of people who love penguins (& me).


I paired the sweet Penguin Friends images with basic stitched rectangle & circle Die and pretty DCWV Christmas Glitter Paper.


I stamped the trio of penguins on smooth white cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and colored in the images with Prismacolor Pencils. All the images were cut using my Scan & Cut 2 machine. I added white detail of the penguins with an opaque Uni-ball white pen.



I stamped a greeting from the same Stamp Set on thin strips of black & white cardstocks & heat-embossed them. 



The other bird is from Avery Elle Winter Woodland Wonders stamp set that I colored in a similar way.


I die cut the Circles Die and the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Die from DCWV Christmas Glitter cardstock.  I also die cut three Circles from white cardstock and adhered them one on top of another with the Christmas Glitter cardstock circle adhered to the top. I applied distress oxide ink to the center of a top fold card base to cover half of the circle window. Then I added some twine to the rectangle panel & later adhered the rectangle panel and the circle frame and images to the finish the card using double-sided tape.


Enjoy!
