This is my first time playing along with your monthly challenge! Beautiful inspiration!
This is my first Pinkfresh challenge and I hope to do lots more now that I have found you! Newbie to your products and can’t wait to add more to my stash. Lemons and Blueberries aren’t very fall, but it’s what I have to work with so I did what I could. LOL Looking forward to future challenges.

Challenge entry #34
I just got the Layered Sunburst stencil and wanted to use it. I chose to only use stencil #3 for the background and softened the intensity of my ink so as not to take away from the striking flowers. I stamped and stenciled the English Garden flowers and after die cutting them chose a few to arrange on the background. I used a sentiment from the Modern Layered Florals set. 💖
Your layering stencils are a breeze to use. I always love a sketch challenge.
I had such fun using Layered Wreath Stand Alone die for a Thanksgiving card I will send to a blogging friend. Previously, I’ve just made Christmas cards with that wreath. Thanks for another great challenge!
Another fun challenge! I tried to highlight each color in the challenge and used The Best Day with a little Happy Blooms thrown in!
Love the color scheme. I plan on tackling this challenge tonight. Beautiful inspiration!
Challenge entry #20. I used some Pinkfresh watercolor ink to create my background. A quick swipe of the brush in the vibrant ink on a panel of watercolor paper is all it took. I die cut from card stock a couple of Leafy Branches and added a sentiment from Joyful Bouquet. Had a lot of fun with this quick card. 💖
I am loving the color inspiration! Such a great jumping off point. 🥰
I had such fun with these colors! Definitely unexpected on a Christmas card – but perfect from my view! I used the Pop Out Christmas sets to create my card!

I am playing along for the very first time today. I just love the colors in this month’s challenge. I am entry #13.
My second challenge entry this month is #10. I used the Pop Out Sunburst stamp and Apricot ink for all of the rays except the last 2 I used Clementine ink. I like how using the 2 inks gives the background an organic look. After cutting out the inked panel with the matching die, I added the circle element using the Painted Peony washi tape. The sentiment is taken from the Joyful Bouquet stamp set. Thank you for hosting the monthly challenge. 💖
My first challenge entry this month is #4. I started with an A2 size piece of kraft paper. Using the Diamond Plaid stencil I ink blended the panel with Clementine, such a pretty orange. Next I put the Modern Layered Floral stamp in my Misti and used various ink colors on each layer. I really love the fall look of this card just by incorporating the brown and orange inks. I appreciate these monthly challenges as it is the starting inspiration for lots of fun and pretty projects. Thanks! 💖
For my card today, I used the Pinkfresh Studio Full Bloom Stamp and die colored with Copic markers to use the specific colors in this month’s challenge. The Ornate Oval frame die was cut from Silver metallic cardstock twice. The slimline card was cut from a piece of Neenah Bright White cardstock to 9″ × 8″ and then folded to measure 9″ × 4″. I then blended Distress Oxide in Peacock Feathers to the front. The title was cut from the Pinkfresh Studio Phase Builder: Happy Die Set which really is so helpful for all of my holiday titles. The shadow is cut from orange vellum to stay with the fall theme. I arranged all the pieces to balance the card after cutting the bloom in half. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for fall inspiration for my card!
I’m entering this challenge for the very first time, as I love Autumn colors 🍁🤗💕
Can’t wait to see what everybody created 😍
I love everything about Autumn, but especially the crisp clean air and bright blue skies. That was the inspiration for my layout. Great challenge, thank you.
