Pencil colouring on dark cardstock - PinkFresh Studios Full Bloom

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I'm really loving using coloured cardstock panels, particularily the darker the better. But I also love to colour as well, so today I'm sharing my tips on pencil colouring on dark card. And as soon as I saw this beautiful floral stamp from PinkFresh Studios, I thought it would be perfect for just this technique! The floral arrangement allows the card to pop through against those softer colours really making the design stand out.  Written and photos Pencil colouring on dark cardstock:  To start off, trim a...

Rich & Luxurious embossing - Altenew Dotted Blooms

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I love to ink blend, but I love it more when it's over heat embossing. Emboss resist is such a fun technique to use with your stamping and if you combine it with metallic embossing powders and dark colours you can get rich & luxurious embossing in no time! What's more, you can easily adapt this to any stamp set you wish, or occasion. And for added variation, why not create an ombre effect with your ink blending.  Written and photos Rich & Luxurious embossing:  To start...

Partial die-cut heat embossed border card - Pink Fresh Studio - Leafy Decor

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. So who says leaves have to be green?! I thought this Leafy Decor stamp from PinkFresh Studio would be a great stamp for partial die-cutting to create a border card. And I think it turned out quite well. I decided to go for an alternative colour scheme, as I wanted to play with colour more, rather than stay with traditions. Hopefully, you'll think it's a success - for me, it is a success!
