Hope Your Day Is EXTRA Special

Hi crafty friends!

I am back over on the Pinkfresh Studio card blog today to share with you a pretty card using one of Pinkfresh Studio’s beautiful papers out of their new Lovely Blooms 6 x 6 paper pads. I love PFS papers and ephemera, they are clean, modern, fantastic quality and, I love the colour combos. If you ever get stuck on colour combos, pull out one of their paper pads!

For my card, I was drawn to the gold arches and the pale pinky/lilac colour tones on one of the papers. It matched well with the lilac florals from the newly released Garden Bouquet Washi Tape.

With the paper, I decided to just add a little bit of ink blending around the edges. Then, I gave it a bit of gold splatter to bring out the gold in the arches. I also attached the paper to some cardstock backing just to give it some firmness.

After allowing the splatter to dry, I added the smaller lilac florals from the Garden Bouquet Washi Tape being sure to follow the line of the arches. Using foam squares allowed for some lovely dimension here.

Another cool product that Pinkfresh Studio release are ready made sentiment packs. So, I decided to use the Hope Your Day is Extra Special from the Foiled Sentiments 6 pack. One thing I always do with these sentiments is mat it on thick cardstcock as I don’t do floppy! Hahaha. I need to fussy cut, but that’s okay as it’s worth it for me.

The faithful Small Butterflies came in useful here. I heat embossed them in white on vellum and added two of them on my card design as I felt it needed something extra.

To finish, I added the Gold Metallic Pearls on the butterflies and around the background.

I love how this card turned out, super pretty and with a little dimension.

Guess what? I also made a reel to share with you all showing how my design came together. So keep an eye out over on the @pinkfreshstudio Instagram account.

Until next time friends..
