April 2026 Challenge: Ombré Obsession

April 2026 Challenge: Ombré Obsession

05 Apr 2026 5 Comments

Happy Sunday, Pinkfresh fans! 🌸 We’ve been blown away by all the creative projects you shared for our last challenge, and we’re so excited to see what you come up with this month. Whether you love scrapbooking, cardmaking, journaling, or mini albums, everyone is welcome to join in the fun!

The theme for April is Ombré Obsession! Think gradients, blending, and soft transitions of color—whether you’re ink blending a card background, watercoloring a stunning scene, layering patterned papers, or creating a subtle fade with embellishments. There are so many ways to play with ombré, and we can’t wait to see your colorful creations!

Our Pinkfresh products are perfect for this theme, from inks and paints to patterned papers and embellishments that blend beautifully together. But as always, feel free to use whatever you have in your stash and let your creativity shine!

Quick reminder: You can enter up to 3 new, never-before-seen projects in each month’s challenge.

Check out yesterday’s post for the March challenge winners and Top 3 Projects. Maybe you will be featured next! Ready to join the fun? Let’s get crafting!

We can't wait to see how you incorporate the Sew Much Fun theme into your projects! For those inspired by the color scheme, here are the best matching ink shades: Lemon Whip, Apricot, Peony, Raspberry Bliss, and Candy Apple.

✨ Remember: ✨
Our 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!

Let’s see what you create! 💛

Here is some inspiration for you from our amazing team to get you started and maybe spark some ideas for your projects (click on the images for more info):

I loved this month’s challenge! I explored ombre by adding some texture to the blend and stretched myself to use the Modern Design Block stencils in a unique way. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love this colour palette. This wreath die gives you so many opportunities to create a perfect customizable focal point.

This was my first time using Pinkfresh product combo. I do not have the patience to color with shading, highlights etc. The layering stencils are fun & the end result very satisfying. I hope to join this challenge with another card soon.

Wonderful inspiration cards for the April Challenge!
I had fun making a card with one of the items I got in my recent order, and used a design and sentiment from the Ice Cream Truck stamp set!
