Pinkfresh Studio INSD

Soo... I used to scrapbook a lot and then, turned to stamping. Recently I started back again and am moving a bit slow on the creativity but, enjoying documenting life again!! I created this layout for Pinkfresh studio's INSD scrapbook blog challenge. It's about a trip we took to Linville Falls in NC- we stayed at the "Cowboys Retreat" home (decorated perfectly) with a hot tub the girls enjoyed immensely. 

I need a little practice photographing large layouts :-)  

Here's a couple close ups...

Wondering if I should cut off the gold thread on my vertical stripes??

Anywho... used lots of Pinkfresh goodies on this-

Tourist Mode- enamel dots, chipboard stickers, cardstock stickers

Fluttering Butterflies washi tape

Garden Bouquet chipboard frames

Life Right Now chipboard frames

Chrysanthemum chipboard flair

Curvy Leaves die set

Pinkfresh Studio April Challenge

I played along in the Pinkfresh Studio April Challenge. This month is all about flowers!! 

Here's my card. 

I have had this Magnolia Stamp, die, and stencil set for a while and it hadn't seen ink....  It was stamped with versamark and heat embossed with Brutus Monroe gilded gold. Using the coordinating stencils I blended in two shades of pink and die cut with the coordinating die. I also die cut in gold cardstock and layered behind the stenciled flowers. The background is the Overlapping Geo Leaf die- blended lightly in the corners. The sentiment is from a Create and Connect Event stamped in versamark and embossed in gilded gold. Added a few gold pearls. 

Hoping you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

Pinkfresh Studio March Challenge

I played along in the March Pinkfresh Studio challenge. This month you have the choice to use the colors or layer it up or use both the colors and add layers. I chose the layers with a few of the colors mixed in. 

Here's my card. 

I played with the newly released Circle Florals suite of products using three of the suggested colors (coral reef, sky blue, and meadow). The image was stamped with misty coast and the colors blended using the coordinating stencils and cut with the coordinating die. The background was created using the Stitched Diamonds coverplate and adhered on an A2 white card base.  I added a couple offset silver foiled circles and tucked the flowers underneath. The sentiment from Circle Florals was stamped with passion fruit, die cut, and adhered using dimensional foam dots. Lastly, I added a few crystal jewels for fun. 

Hoping you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
