Roses and Butterfly Pink Fresh Studio Challenge June 2024

Kia ora Koutou

I have my first entry for this month’s Pink Fresh Studio Monthly Challenge for June 2024. This month the challenge is to create an ombre or gradient element and the ink colours are Waterfall, Slumber, Sparkling Rose, Mimosa, Lemon Whip & Soft Lilac.

For my card I have really embraced the gorgeous rainbow colours on both the flowers and card base by creating rainbow coloured roses and a hot foiled rainbow coloured panel using the new Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid BetterPress Plate on the background of the card.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I then cut another piece of white cardstock the same size and used the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid BetterPress plate to emboss this card without colour using my Spellbinders Platinum machine. This embossed panel was then added to the front of the card base.

I then hot foiled another piece of white cardstock using Spellbinders Opal foil which acted as a type of resist and then created a rainbow effect by using all the inks in this challenge. I trimmed a piece of this rainbow card to 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″. I die cut the decorative edge from white cardstock using the Pink Fresh Studio Lacey Edges 1 die set and adhered this behind the rainbow strip. This panel was then added to the left side of the card. I finished this edge by adding a very thin strip of white cardstock along the edge with the lace edge.

I stamped the rose image from the Pink Fresh Studio Garden Roses set using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing Powder. I then coloured the roses in a rainbow effect using the stencil and the challenge inks. I die cut this image out and then stacked the die with another 3 plain dies withe the coloured image on top before adding to the front of the card.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate in gold foil and die cut it with the coordinating die. I stacked two plain dies with the foiled sentiment on top and added it to the bottom left of the card over the roses.

I hot foiled the butterflies from the Pink Fresh Studio Small Butterflies Hot Foil Plate in Matte Gold foil and coloured them with Mimosa and Sparkling Rose inks before die cutting with the coordinating die. I added a butterfly using foam squares under the wings.

To finish the card I have added Glacier Jewels around the sentiment and flowers.

Thanks for Everything with Pink Fresh Studio

I have just purchased some new inks from Pink Fresh Studio and they are just gorgeous. My favourite new colours to use are the Rose Garden set with Cherry Blossom, Peony, Begonia and Mulberry Bush colours in this set. I was very excited with this set and have used the colours in lots of new projects including this card for the Pink Fresh Studio January Challenge. This Challenge is a ‘Year in Review’ where we could pick any month from the last year to create a project. Of course I had to go for the April 2023 Challenge which was ‘Flowers’. I do not have the full range of Pink Fresh Studio inks for the ink colour challenge so I just went for the flowers instead. I just love the Garden Roses stamp, stencil and coordinating die set and the Rose Garden ink set was perfect with this set, which I paired with the new Green Gables ink set for the leaves. I also added some subtle shimmer and sparkle by adding Opalescent Stardust Butter to the entire rose flowers and they came out very soft, dreamy and romantic.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I die cut two dies out of white cardstock using the Stained Glass die and turned one upside down before putting them on the front of the card.

I have gone for a no-line colouring finish by just using the stencils to colour the images with the pink and green inks. I then added some Opalescent Stardust Butter to all the roses and then die cut them with the coordinating die. The pressure of the die cutting machine helped to smooth out the stenciling nicely. I die cut another plain die and adhered the coloured image to the plain die and then added it to the front of the card using Bearly Art Glue.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil set and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut another two plain dies and stacked the three dies together with the foiled sentiment on top. This sentiment was then added to the front of the card as shown.

To finish I added some pink jewels around the flowers and sentiment.
