Welcome to day 2 of this amazing collaboration hop between Wow! Embossing and Picket Fence Studios! Hopefully you have arrived here from the talented Lydia Fiedler's Blog! If not, just head to the bottom of my post for a full list of everyone hopping along today.
I created two cards for you today using products from these two fabulous companies. I am a huge fan of both and so excited to be able to be part of this hop. I absolutely love the Watercolor Trees and Bushes stamp set from PFS so of course I had to emboss it to create a beautiful silhouette against my ink blended background.
I have become so addicted to ink blending since I started using the amazing PFS Life Changing Blender Brushes. Before I started using these, I rarely did any ink blending - now I have to hold myself back. I also love this embossing powder from the Dockside Trio with its incredible texture and dimension. Oiled Slate was the perfect shade without using black to create the silhouette look I was going for.
I love the sentiments that come in this set and white embossing on dark card stock completed the elegant look and feel to this card.
Before I move on to my 2nd card, let me tell you a bit about our amazing hop this weekend. First of all - it is running over the course of two days. Be sure to check out either Wow! Embossing or Picket Fence Studios to get the line up from day 1.

For my second card, I couldn't wait to play with the new Paper Glaze from Picket Fence Studios. It is so creamy and lush and just a breeze to stencil this beautiful intricate Quatrefoil Bouquet stencil. I tried my hand at blending the two and you can see a bit of the gorgeous violet these two colors created.
I absolutely love the big word dies from PFS and they are a dream to emboss! I love glitter dipped nail art and that inspired the look that I created for the Hey You sentiment. It was really easy to just press the letters into the Wow! Embossing Pad about halfway up and then sprinkle the powder over top. To really make the words pop, I also embossed the shadow die with a contrasting color. I love the mix of metals, don't you? I totally need all the big word dies now. And that tiny little sentiment just makes me smile!
