Phrases & Frames with Nature's Symphony

 

Phrases & Frames Bundle + Nature's Symphony Bundle

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color is all about Petal Pink!  To show off this sweet color I have used the Phrases & Frames Bundle paired with the Nature's Symphony Bundle.

Phrases & Frames Bundle + Nature's Symphony Bundle

The Phrases & Frames Bundle features some special frame dies that are designed to leave an elevated level of detail when paired with the Impressions Plate during a second pass through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.  I chose to cut the frame out of Petal Pink cardstock.

For the branch of leaves, I applied Petal Pink ink to Basic White cardstock using a blending brush.  This created the lovely lighter tone of Petal Pink.  I added a vellum branch under the colored cardstock, creating a sweet shadow.  I think the antique pearls look beautiful with the Petal Pink!

Gray Granite was used for both the outer & inner sentiments.  Branches stamped in Petal Pink finish off the inner card beautifully.

Frosted Pinecones

Frosted Pinecones Bundle

 If you like using masks for coloring, you will love this bundle!  The definition created with each layer is just stunning (but then again.... I LOVE pinecones). 

In the below YouTube tutorial, I will show you how to shade your pinecone AND how to make it look like it has snow too!



Frosted Pinecones Bundle

For the first pinecone, I only used masks numbered 1-4.  I used Peaceful Pine for the ribbon and Adhesive Backed Gold Dots for my embellishment.

Frosted Pinecones Bundle

For the snowy pinecone I used all the masks number 1-5.  I also used the Peaceful Pine ribbon, as well as the Adhesive Backed Snowflakes as my embellishment.
