Pinkfresh Studio “Here for You” Release Blog Hop
Hi, hello, hola!
I’m so excited to be part of the Pinkfresh August release hop, and yes, we know it’s September but let’s just roll with it.
A celebration isn't complete without a fabulous giveaway, and there is one here! We will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog & YouTube channel. You will have to comment on the release video and the blog post in order to be in with a chance, though.
We will also be giving away a total of TEN $25 gift cards along the hop. As per usual with blog hops - the winners will be picked from the comments, so the more you hop and comment, the bigger your chance to win.
Pinkfresh will pull the winners & post them on September 18, 2024 on the GIVEAWAY PAGE. Please make sure to check that page & claim your prize within 2 weeks, if you are a winner.
For my first card I have used the lovely Art Deco Floral Arch suite. It comes with a Press Plate, a rubber stamp, a coordinating diecut and layering stencils.
I heat embossed the stamp set with Gold embossing powder from WOW! Embossing, and then ink blended with the coordinating layering stencils.
The colours I used are Cherry Blossom and Mulberry Blush for the florals, and Limoncello plus a touch of Citron for the leaves and stems. I used one of the brand new bigger ink blending tools too! Oooooh, let me tell you, I’m a fan!
I used a little bit of Espresso and Gathered Twigs on the arches too. With the ink blending done, I used the coordinating diecut to cut out the image.
Sentiment wise it made so much sense to use the GORGEOUS set called Here For You, also in this release. It has a stamp set, press plates and diecuts. I decided to heat emboss the stamps in Gold again, to keep things cohesive.
The fact that even the sentiments have coordinating diecuts is something that I absolutely LOVE. It looks so clean and elegant cut out with clean lines.
On the back of the floral image I added lots of foam tape strips to elevate it from the background, that I used the Charming Stitched Florals cover plate on.
I had to add a few little sparkles too. Duh. Of course I did! These are the Champagne Glitter Drops and they were perfect.
My second card is using the same Art Deco Floral Arch suite, only this time I hot foiled the Press Plate with Matte Gold hot foil!
I also kept the colour scheme super simple with just THREE colours! Sunshine for the arches, Grassy Knoll for the leaves and stems, and finally Bubble Gum for the florals.
This image I also cut out using the coordinating diecut, but I skipped the foam tape for this one, rather opting to glue it down directly onto a card base.
I added a hot foiled sentiment from the set to the card, and a generous sprinkling of Glacier gems later, this one was done! With that, I’m done for today but don’t forget to hop along and leave comments for your chance to win either a $25 gift card or the entire release bundle!! Look at all of these goodies!
The next stop on the hop is my in-real-life friend, the amazing Heather Hoffman and if you came here from Emily, you are already on your way!
With love and light, sparkle and creativity,
Erica
