Lobed this challenge! Played with lots of layers.
Dropping another layout, using lots of layers.
This is my first time posting something in a challenge. I posted my scrapbook page on Instagram. I used the Spring Vibes collection. I love how it turned out. I chose pinks, blues, and greens mainly for my pallet and tried to do lots of layering. Thanks for a fun challenge!
Thanks for these challenges! I LOVE interpretations of the challenge! I do love layers, but I do also need to have my pages fit in a page protector in my albums. ;-)
Love having themes that aren’t limited to certain products, so everyone can enter. Layers was a good one with so many options, as seen in the beautiful projects made by the team!
As always, great challenge! Love the inspiration from the Pinkfresh Team x
Pulling out paper scraps is perfect for a layers challenge!
Hi again – I made a third entry. I was inspired by a layout I saw on your blog and by a card we made in the February Create and Connect Event. Thanks so much for all you do!
I love to layer all the things! Really enjoyed this one. I love to see creative ways of using supplies – especially things designed for cardmaking in scrapbooks.

Hey. I had to repost one of mine, so my entries are Nos. 68 and 69.
using a lot of the March release items. I just love that spiral circle and the Happy for You set is fast becoming one of my favorites. I love the images and those beautiful sentiments with coordinating dies. The card has 7 layers – beginning with the scallop plate cover die and finishing with the sentiment popped up on the internal circle. I love the dimension! uses a lot of oldies but goodies, including the Daisy Chain cover plate, Ornate Circle die and the wonderful Butterflies Collection. I love embossing a stamped outline, then using the coordinating stencil to create beautiful colors.Oh my goodness! I forgot to leave a comment – I’ve played twice, I love all the new goodies I have been blessed with!

Oooohhh… layering stencils! I love Pinkfresh’s awesome layering stencils! I’m in for this month’s challenge :)
I love layers! The more the better! Different textures too! Thanks for the challenge!
I absolutely love the Detailed Leaf product suite. I used gold to hot foil the outline and then a pretty combination of orange and red Pinkfresh inks. The card base is ivory and I used 2 of the diagonal stitched rectangles to cut out another ivory panel and a brown striped paper. The sentiment is also from same set and stamped with Gathered Twigs ink. A striking card for any time of year. 💖
Love playing with layers and, of course, Pinkfresh products!!
Layers are a challenge for me. I love the look of layers but I tend to be a clean and simple. This is fun!
First time playing along with a Pinkfresh Challenge. I LOVE to layer on my cards so that wasn’t much of a challenge for me but lets just say the color inspiration was definitely a challenge – not my typical go-to color palette!
I’d love to see a challenge using alphabet dies. I just used the Jeff dies for the first time today for another project and they are fast becoming my favorite alphabet dies.
My first time entering a Pinkfresh challenge! I hope it’s ok that I have 4 (similar) cards in one Instagram post. I’m going enter two more (groups of) cards when I get them posted.
Love layouts with layers! Thanks for a great challenge.
Layers? I tried a scrapbook page, but I wasn’t happy, so I made a card and just love it. I always create with layers but creating with my PF items had me thinking. I kept thinking until it hit me, and then I couldn’t stop. I love the challenges, because I love PINK FRESH. Visit me at

I love entering your monthly challenges. My entry is #29. It’s a mini slimline card and I used the diagonal stitched mini rectangles for the 2 bottom layers. I splattered gold paint on the rectangles before adding the foiled and stenciled butterflies. The sentiment is from one of the packs you sell. 💖
So excited to play along this month!
Love playing with layers!! Great challenge!
Fun challenge, love layers!! Hoping to get another layout done!
I played along! Such a fun challenge!
Loved the tip about using bubble mailers to help with die cutting. Have been bringing out dies that I hadn’t been using because I couldn’t get clean cuts and have much better cuts now. It’s like getting new goodies!
I love using layers on my projects.
I always use layers on my cards. They’re more interesting with dimension. The stamp set I used was part of The Stamping Village birthday collaboration.
Layers challenged me to make an inked layer from die cuts using stamping foam. And then why not emboss another layer and add a piece of vellum for good measure? Thanks for fun challenge!
Love layers
Layers are fun, the same way “dimension is life” ;) Loving the spring colors too.
Oh layers! As a clean and simple girl this should be a unique challenge.
