Hi crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card featuring a freebie that you can get today, Pink Fresh Studio’s Puffy Alphas, over at Scrapbook.com (there’s actually two!). I used it to create a custom sentiment as a focal point for this card.

I stamped the main lines from the Recipe Card Maker stamp set diagonally on my black cardstock with Versamark ink, covered it with Hero Arts Satin Pearl embossing powder, and heat set it for a subttle pattern in the background. I then placed all letters to create the “Love You” sentiment in the middle of that pattern.

I used distress oxides inks to ink up the edges but you can’t really distinguish the colors so any would be fine. I then covered up the stickers using the mint tape from Scrapbook.com so I could splatter Perfect Pearl mixed with water onto the top and bottom portion of the card. To finish off the card, I trimmed the card panel down to 4.25 x 5.25. I inked up a piece of white cardstock on the top and bottom using Mowed Lawn, Wilted Violet, Spice Marmalade, and Squeezed Lemonade to match the colors of each of the letters. I mounted my main card panel on top allowing those colors the show through.

I thought that was a pretty fun card I ended up with! Remember to if you’re shopping over at Scrapbook.com, to add these two freebies to your cart.
