Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pinkfresh Studio for their July release blog hop. You can check out the awesome, new July release HERE!
I’ve created two projects featuring the Cityscape die. This die coordinates perfect with both A Day in the City & Home for the Holidays stamp set.
For my first card I embossed several of the images from A Day in the City in white onto aqua cardstock. I stamped the buildings onto white cardrstock, colored them with copics and paper pieced them onto the aqua panel.
This next card features the Home for the Holidays stamp set.
I turned this card into a shaker and colored the images with copics.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
