It has been a while since I was able to enter the challenge at Pink Fresh Studio as I haven’t had a chance to do a lot of crafting due to health issues.

The Pink Fresh Studio monthly challenge is an Anything Goes Challenge: While the theme and colors are here to inspire you, feel free to enter any NEW project that primarily uses Pinkfresh Studio products. Whether you use the theme, the colors, both or none—it’s up to you. At the end of the day, we just want you to get crafty and have fun!

Before I had to take a break I did manage to make this card which has been inspired by Dawn Woleslagle from WPlus9 Designs on her YouTube channel where she made some very elegant cards using a monochromatic blue palate inspired by Chinoiserie designs.

For my card today I have created a plain background of gold and white matting on a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card before adding a fancy raised gold frame using both the Pink Fresh Studio Nested Hexagons: Double Stitch Dies and the Pink Fresh Studio Fancy Edgers Dies.

I stamped the images from the Pink Fresh Studio Print Shop: Modern Botanicals stamp set on white card and coloured the images using the coordinating stencils with Blue Jay and Sapphire inks before die cutting with the coordinating die. The flowers were then added around the left of the frame as shown and using foam squares on some flowers for more dimension.

I finished the card with a simple hot foiled sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate that has been die cut with the coordinating die.

Finally I added some Pink Fresh Studio clear gems with gold dust around the sentiment.

I love the clean and fresh simplicity of this card and I will be looking at participating in more challenges in the future including using the theme and/or colours that have been suggested.
