Pinkfresh Studio Watercolor Blog Hop (+GIVEAWAYS!)

4 Jun

Good morning!  I am thrilled to be celebrating the new liquid watercolors release from Pinkfresh Studio!!  These watercolors are ridiculously vibrant and the colors are gorgeous!  I had a lot of fun playing with them this weekend and you’ll be seeing more from me in the future! 😉 But I didn’t want to take up too much of your time today so I’m just sharing one card!  Make sure to read all the way to the bottom of my post for information on several giveaways!!

When It's Dark Look for Stars by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Pinkfresh Studio

Aren’t those colors GORGEOUS?!  I wanted to see how the colors moved on the paper so I tape a piece of watercolor to a piece of hardboard and tried out some ombre washes.  I started with the lightest color and blended Sky Blue, Sapphire, Lavender, and Licorice across the panel.  I blotted off the excess and let it dry.  Meanwhile I stamped the sentiment from Constellation onto black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before trimming it down to a label.

When It's Dark Look for Stars by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Pinkfresh Studio

Once the panel was dry I splattered white acrylic paint across the paper to create stars in the distance.  I let it dry and then added additional stars with a white gel pen.  Next I die-cut the constellations from the coordinating die set and spread liquid glue across the top of the dies.  I sprinkled them with white glitter and let them dry.  Once the glue dried I added the sentiment with foam mounting tape and then adhered the stars and constellations to finish the card! 🙂

Pinkfresh Studio is giving away three FULL sets of their new liquid watercolors: one on their blog, one on instagram, and one on Facebook!  Each hop stop is also giving away a $25 gift card to Pinkfresh Studio so leave a comment before 11:59PM CST on Saturday, May 9th and Pinkfresh Studio will announce the winners and post them on Sunday, May 10th on their Giveaway page!  You should have arrived from Janna and Kim is your next stop!  You can find the full hop list below:
