Hi there! Today I’m joining Pinkfresh Studio for their April Release Blog Hop!
My first project features the adorable Jar Full of Heart die.
I die cut the Jar of Hearts on Bristol paper and painted the die cut with Zig Clean Color Markers. I mounted the die cut onto a panel that was blended with Distress Oxide inks and splattered with liquid watercolors, water & white acrylic ink. For the sentiment I used Blooming Bouquet.
This next project features one of the Leafy Wreaths dies.
I used Distress Oxide inks to blend color on the Leafy Wreath die cut as well as the background panel. For the background panel I added splatters of water, liquid watercolor & acrylic ink. I used the Blooming Bouquet stamp set for the sentiment as well on this card. For embellishment I added some Nuvo Jewel Drops onto the wreath.

Pinkfresh Studio will be giving away the full April release on the Pinkfresh blog, and on our IG feed.
