Hello pinkfreshstudio.com administrator, Your posts are always well-written and easy to understand.
Loved this challenge!
Posting on the 27th. I only just realized that I do not have any PFS happy birthday stamp sentiments. That is next on my wish list.
Just added card #2…. I did say I love plaid/stripes, right?? LOL Couldn’t resist challenging myself again, any excuse to use my growing hoard of Pinkfresh products :)
I enjoyed this month’s challenge. Beautiful colors to work with.
Such a pretty color scheme, puts me in the mood for some spring cardmaking!
I’m very new to layered stencils but really cannot resist your beautiful designs. I fussy cut the best results I inked using a Folk Art Print set my sister gifted me last year. I’m glad to check out the inspiration here to get better at this fun hobby!
I’m new to Pink Fresh, but not new to scrapbooking! loved the theme of this challenge! I’m all about stripes and plaids! Especially when your focus is on a single photo! Lots of layering with your beautiful papers! For future challenges, I love anything beach/summer themed!
LOVED this challenge – I’m a sucker for plaids and stripes, so I used both on my card! I challenged myself with my ink blending technique within this challenge too (I tend to be very heavy handed) … so this was a great challenge all around, thank you!
I’ve already reordered ‘Flower Market’ , I love it so much. The Design Team inspirations are just beautiful.
Love these challenges and am thoroughly enjoying Flower Market! Perfect fit for plaid and stripes x
I really had to think about this one. I made a card and decided it just didn’t do it for me. I cut apart what I could and just tried to re-invent the wheel. I now have a scrapbook page. I used all the colors mentioned, but as I am not a fan of orange, I used the least amount of it, but used it more for blending. The colors are soft so i tried to keep my layout very subdued and use stripes and plaid in as many ways as I could. Also, there is a lot more white space than I am used to leaving, but again the colors seemed to be more balance with the white. This was definitely a fun challenge; all my dies and colors are PINK FRESH because I love the products.
Hi, went for the colors and did the strips but kinda made my own plaid. Great challenge!
I opted for the plaid for my monochromatic layout. Love this challenge- again!
Love this challenge theme. I can never get too much plaid!
Great challenge! I’ll be participating. :)
