Picket Fence Release Day & a Giveaway!


It's release day at Picket Fence Studios and I can't wait to show you the new items in the store!  First up is the very chic Claire.  For the background, I inked the new diamond patterned stencil with distress inks, and spritzed with water then placed it on cardstock.  Lastly, I added a sentiment from a fun little set of six sentiments all with the word "because".  


I can't get enough of the coordinating dies.  The dies make it so easy to create cards with colorful backgrounds.  Create the background, color a BFF Girl and die cut, no tricky fussy cutting needed!


         

   

              

For my next card, I created a fun outdoor scene with a simple watercolor background.  


I colored the hen house then die cut it with the coordinating die.  I also colored one of the chickens and die cut it.  I took an Exacto knife and made a slice in the doorway just big enough to slide the chicken in so that it's peeping out the doorway.


     

(This card is for the F4A486 Challenge at SCS)

Not only does the June release have a cute chicken coop set but there is also this fun chicken set with eggs and coordinating dies too!

                   


My last project is bright and cheerful.  First I used a stencil to add brushstrokes then I added the lovely two-piece word die cut.  Easy and fun!

  3. All cards are lovely.. they look amazing..Another great release by PF.. I have to try your stencil and distress ink technique, it looks abstract. I love to paint, so I prefer to create background scene on my own using watercolor or copic if time permits.. Otherwise stencil is the easiest way..
