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.

I have recently purchased the new Spellbinders BetterPress system as I had seen some gorgeous plates and samples made with the BetterPress. And as I love colouring I thought I would have a go. I am still working out the best way to use it as I am getting a little bit of movement when I am pressing the plates. I think I need my Platinum next to the BetterPress so I can minimise the likelihood of movement. However, I do love the image that comes with the machine and I will look to add more plates over time when my budget and time allows.

My Project

For my card I created a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I impressed two images using the floral plate and sentiment plate that came with the machine on porcelain cardstock. I coloured on image using Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers and die cut it out with a small rectangle die from the Spellbinders Matting Basics A Die set. I cut a piece of black cardstock slightly bigger than the die cut image and adhered the coloured image on top of the black cardstock. This was then added to the top of the plain black and white image aligning the lines. This was then added to the front of the card base.

I die cut two large frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Rectangle Dies, adhered them together and added them to the card front.

I also pressed the sentiments from the Spellbinders – Fancy Sentiment Strips Press Plate & Die Set in black ink on the porcelain cardstock and die cut it out with the coordinating die. I added a mat out of black cardstock to the sentiment and then added this to the front of the card over the flowers with foam squares as shown.

To finish the card I added a little sparkle with some clear irridescent gems around the sentiments.
