October 2023 Challenge

October 2023 Challenge

Welcome to the October challenge at Pinkfresh Studio! You all created such amazing projects for last month's challenge, and we can't wait to see what you create this month! This challenge is for ALL papercrafters - including scrapbooking, cardmaking, minis, journals, notebooks & more!

If you haven't checked it out yet, we featured our Top 3 Cards & Layouts, plus the prize winners from the September challenge on yesterday's post! Who knows...maybe it will be YOU this month! You never know unless you play along! :)

October's challenge is Ombre/Tone on Tone!

We can't wait to see the ways you use tone on tone or ombre effects on your projects! You can blend inks, layer different colors of cardstock or pattern paper, or use embellishments in varying shades to create an ombre or tone on tone look - the possibilities are endless!

The following ink shades are the best matches for the colors in the challenge: Coral Reef, Fresh Pear, Ballet Slipper, Soft Lilac or Lavender, & Olive. 

As always you can use just the theme, just the colors, or use both for your projects! Here is some inspiration for you from our amazing team:

Your team always makes inspiring projects! The Delicate Wreath set continues to be one of my favorites. Love stamping it in multiple colors using the MISTI, like I did for my entry card.

One of my favorite colour hues is blush, so I made a tone on tone card with blush hues for this challenge.

Excited to share a second card for this challenge! It was inspired by a technique I watched Channin Pelletier use with colored cardstock and layering stencils. ☺️
