ALWAYS A REASON TO CELEBRATE | CHERYL ESPIE
Hi Pinkfresh Studio friends!
I am so excited to be sharing my first blog post as a brand new Pinkfresh Studio design team member. Whoop!
Today, I am sharing a bold card design with blue and white hues. I fell in love with two sets recently, the Detailed Leaf Hot Foil Plate from the December release AND the amazing Jeff Alpha from the November release.
To begin, I used silver hot foil for the Detailed Leaf Hot Foil Plate. Silver goes so well with blue. Using a combination of Blue Jay and Stargazer dye inks, I proceeded to ink blend the foiled imageusing the coordinating Detailed Leaf Stencils. I repeated the foiling and stencilling twice to give me two sets of leaves to play with for my arrangement.
For that background I added some Slumber ink blending then splattered it with silver ink. Once dried, I die cut the panel with an all time favourite of mine from the Pinkfresh Studio Essentials range: Blanket Stitched Rectangles. It took a little time to arrange those leaves as I knew I would probably have to cut them in order to look right. For some reason, I find this very difficult! After the finished placement I popped up the leaves for dimension.
Well friends, that's it for my first Pinkfresh Studio post.
I hope it 'leaves' you inspired!
Until next time.....
Cheryl

Your cards are lovely! I just got my Jeff Alpha yesterday, I am going to play later today! 💜
Welcome. Your first card is gorgeous!
Beautiful card and congratulations! I also have Jeff’s alpha and love it. I want the leaf, but made order today and received my small butterflies day before yesterday so we have to wait for a while before purchasing more.
