PinkFresh Studio Delighted For You

I have been trying to actually *use* supplies as I buy them, so when I purchased this Delighted For You stamp / stencil / die bundle from my local craft shop I made a point to use it!

When I saw this set, while I knew it would be versatile for color ways, but I immediately saw tiger lillies, so I chose a peachy-orange palette to start. The card base is Spellbinders Barely Peach (I think it would be Bellini equivalent now with the refresh)

Here is a list of the inks I used:

  • Honey Bee No Line Coloring Ink (background)
  • Lawn Fawn
    • Apricot, Peach Fuzz, Pumpkin Spice, Cilantro, Artichoke

The background was made with a technique I learned from the fabulous Gina K. I took a piece of 65lb card stock and scored it at every half inch; then I took the Honey Bee No Line colouring ink pad straight to the card stock (laying it flat down) and just lightly brushed it. That created that faux wood grain/ shiplap look.

Foiling sentiments is wonderful, but it’s a lot of work for me to drag out my glimmer machine, so I happen to have a pouch of pre foiled & cut sentiments from PinkFresh so I just popped one on from that stash.

A few baubles to fill in & balance white space and voila! A card done. It took maybe 30 minutes in total but I’m super happy with how it turned out.

Pink Fresh Studio Fruitalicious Washi Card

I just love these Washi panels from Pink Fresh Studio! When creating these I always mount the washi panels on 110lb cardstock to give them almost a chipboard ephemera feel.

For this batch, I mounted the washi ephemera pieces on the stitched Arch diecut from My Favorite Things, and added just a hint of a stenciled background using Lost Shadow distress oxide ink set the perfect backdrop for these gorgeous pieces.

PinkFresh Studio Berries & Blossoms Mini Slimline Card

These washi panels really are a crafting game changer! Instead of buying a single ephemera pack that you can only get a set amount of cards from, these washi panels really give you a bang for your buck!

Using this Berries & Blossoms PinkFresh Studio washi panel and coordinating die, I always layer the washi onto 100lb card stock to give my images more strength for layering.

The hot foiled the sentiment was perfect for this card as it tied in the gold accents on the die cut images.
