Picket Fence Studios September release

It's the 14th, which means it is release day for Picket Fence Studios! Hooray!  I have a slimline card to share today, using two new stamps from Picket Fence. There's a lot to love in this release, so I have listed all of the new products below!

Also, this post is part of a blog hop for this month's release, so make sure you check out all of the details below! There are two $50 shopping sprees up for grabs!

I made a video showing how I made this card - you can watch it on the Picket Fence Studios YouTube channel, and it's embedded below!

 

 While we're talking about slimline cards, I have a couple more to share!  

For this one, I used the Chase Me repeating stamp. I white embossed it and then watercoloured a rainbow over the top. I finished with a Hello die cut sentiment.

And I wasn't finished with rainbows (am I ever?)

I wanted a pastel rainbow, so I added Snowdrop white paper glaze over the slimline broken fence stencil, then added a rainbow of colour over the top (I mixed each colour with a bit of snowdrop white to tone the colours down, too). I wasn't done with the rainbow, though - I added a rainbow of sequins from 6 different sequin mixes! I finished with a sentiment from the Stamptember collaboration stamp set from Picket Fence Studios and Simon Says Stamp.

I will have more cards to share using other products from this release in the coming weeks - stay tuned!

Here's the list of the stops on today's hop!  Remember, there are two $50 vouchers to Picket Fence Studios up for grabs!

Happy Stamptember!

 Happy Stamptember! 

I was hoping to join in with the blog party that happened earlier this month, but with international postage being what it is at the moment, I had to wait, but here's my card now!

I started with a panel of Yupo, coloured with Alcohol Inks and gold foil. I then stamped and gold embossed the sentiment from the "I am with you" stamp set onto a strip of vellum and wrapped it around the Yupo so that the adhesive would be hidden. I adhered the hole panel to a side-folding card base.

Hello

 I've been making heaps of hello cards recently.

 I used a background stamp from Simon Says Stamp, white embossed and coloured with Zig markers, and a sentiment from Paper Rose Studio.

 Who's in need of a rainbow right about now?

Stamptember with Picket Fence Studios and Simon Says Stamp

 Happy Stamptember! Today, I have a card using the brand new collaboration set between Picket Fence Studios and Simon Says Stamp!

I stamped the image of all of the cocktail glasses and coloured it with Copic markers. Now, I don't drink alcohol, but I reckon these drinks are (in order), a martini, long island iced tea, strawberry daquiri, lemon lime and bitters (although why anyone would put olives in a LLB is beyond me! LOL!), champagne cocktail, gin and tonic, Midori splice, blue lagoon and a purple dragon martini! 

I fussy cut the coloured image, and popped it up onto a grey background that I used the Triangle Collage Stencil with my Life CHanging Blender Brushes and Unicorn White pigment ink from Hero Arts. I added the sentiment uner the drinks, and finished with some Gin and Tonic sequins (because I couldn't NOT use them, now, could I?)  

Here are some links to some of my fellow Picket Fence Studios design team mates!
