Sandra Girl for Picket Fence Studios

Sandra Girl for Picket Fence Studios published on 1 Comment on Sandra Girl for Picket Fence Studios

Today is my day over at the Picket Fence Studios blog!  I’m so happy I got a moment in my crazy week to color this gorgeous Sandra Girl image.  I have been in awe of her from the moment I saw her and now I have two of them.  Yep, two.  The original size (shown here) and Kiss Kiss Sandra Girl which has the image a little larger along with the sentiment I used today.  The original has a die coming out soon too!!

Beauty Lies Within by Jen Timko | Sandra Girl Stamp Set and Die by Picket Fence Studios, Kiss Kiss Sandra Girl Stamp by Picket Fence Studios, Random Dots Stencil by Picket Fence Studios, Copic Coloring, Distress Oxide Ink, Life Changing Blender Brushes by Picket Fence StudiosI colored her using Copic Markers (listed below in my Link Deli list) and just enjoyed working on her shading.  All of the girls really allow for practicing coloring skills and playing with skin and hair variations.  I thought pink would be a nice compliment to Sandra since she reminds me of a friend who happens to love pink.

I hope you enjoy this card.  Hop over to the Picket Fence Studios blog for more and for lots of inspiration from the design team each week.  Until next time, wishing a safe Memorial Day weekend (if you celebrate) full of thanks and remembrance.


Picket Fence Studios March Release and a GIVEAWAY

Picket Fence Studios March Release and a GIVEAWAY published on 8 Comments on Picket Fence Studios March Release and a GIVEAWAY

Happy Release Day!!  So happy to share with you some projects I created for the Picket Fence Studios March Release AND a chance to win a $15 gift card for shopping at PFS.  Yep, it is a great day!

Painted Coffee Cup by Jen Timko | Color Can Heal the Soul Stamp Set by Picket Fence Studios, Coffee Cup Die by Picket Fence Studios, Random Dots Stencil by Picket Fence StudiosI am going to get right to it and introduce the new stamp set called Color Can Heal the Soul.  This is a pretty paint look image that has beautiful sentiments that you are sure to love.  As soon as I saw the stamp set, I thought about creating a coffee cup that I want to have!  And even better, Picket Fence Studios has just the die for the job.  I inked the paint drip image with a rainbow of colors and then stamped onto white card stock.

Family Fish by Jen Timko | Oceans of Fish Stencil by Picket Fence Studios, Be a Unicorn of the Sea Stamp Set by Picket Fence Studios, Daniel Smith Watercolor, Deco Foil Transfer Gel Next up, I wanted to focus completely on another stencil.  A new stencil called Oceans of Fish.  As I debated pulling out the Glimmer Paste (and believe me, I almost did), I chose another version of shine for this one.  I thought the fish would be amazing in foil!  So I grabbed Transfer Gel (which acts pretty much like embossing paste except a little thinner) and applied it to a watercolored panel.

I hope you like the sets I am featuring today.  I’ll be back over the upcoming days and weeks to showcase more of the release!  But now…the GIVEAWAY!  In your comments, tell me your favorite way to use a stencil (because I always need more ideas).  That’s it.  Comment and share your idea.  I’ll randomly choose one winner and announce on March 19th.  Thanks so much for stopping in today!  See you soon.
