Picket Fence Studios + My Sweet Petunia Collab Blog Hop

So exciting! Two great companies coming together for one great blog hop. My Sweet Petunia and Picket Fence Studios are two of my favorites. There are prizes up for grabs, so follow me along with the Blog Hop. 



You all know I love my PFS stamps and dies, and I must say I use my MISTI EVERY TIME I stamp. I have had the Original MISTI forever and just recently added the MINI MISTI to my supplies. I love both sizes and use them both equally. 


I used both sizes on my strawberry card today. I went strawberry picking this week and I was inspired by the beautiful red fruit and rows of gorgeous green plants. When I sat down to create, right away I was drawn to this image by PFS. I love the giant size of the Ponchatoula Strawberries and I knew I wanted to add sone embossing to the image.  I used the Original MISTI to stamp the image in Intense Black ink, so I could color the strawberries up. I made sure to not remove the stamp from the Misti, so I could stamp it a second time, after coloring, with Versamark ink. I then could add the Rose Gold Embossing powder. That's the beauty of the Misti, it allows you to stamp and re-stamp images as long as you position the paper in the corner and keep the stamp in the same place on the lid.  So easy and perfection every time. 




Because I didn't move the stamp and placed the colored paper panel back into the corner, I was able to add the versamark ink over the colored image so I could add the Rose Gold Embossing Powder. After I heated the embossing powder, I used the matching Ponchatoula Strawberries Die to cut it out. I then placed it at the bottom of Mist card stock that I had added the strawberry image in Baby Blue ink along the top 

I pulled out the Mini MISTI to stamp up my sentiment. This size is perfect to keep on my desk and stamp all the little images I work with mostly. Today I decided on a sentiment from Small Ways to Say Thank You


I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and added the same Rose Gold embossing powder to the words. I finishe dit off with a tiny scallop from the Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts. Here's a closer look at the details. 



Here is the list for our Blog Hop. Be sure to leave comments along the way. Picket Fence Studios and My Sweet Petunia are both offering $50  gift certificates.
