The theme this month was a great reason for me to ink up the leafy decor stamp – I love it.

Well—it took me all month to decide what I wanted to use for my card! But I’m so glad I finally remembered that I have the wonderful Lush Vines stamp which I colored thinking of the transition from Summer to Fall. My first time using Small Butterflies, but won’t be my last! Thanks for continuing these challenges & your generous prizes!

This might be my favorite card ever. I used Spun Sugar Oxide on the background. So much fun using the hot foil butterfly plate and rose gold on vellum to create lots of soft interest. I just acquired the leafy branch die and knew I wanted to use it on this caed. I have both a shiny rose gold paper and one that’s more subtle and has a brushed finish. It was perfect for the look I wanted. Lots of love to you Pinkfresh!

This greenery challenge is so easy with all the floral products you carry. I love using the diamond die as a background for my daisy wreath. It reminds me of flowers on a trellis at my grandma’s house. 💖

The Joyful Bouquet washi tape was the inspiration for my card. I love how it takes center stage for almost the entire background.

I had fun using the Hanging Florals stamp and die set as my starting point for my Autumnal wreath. Always tons of inspiration here…..Thank you x.

I love the new hot foil plate for the Daisy Wreath suite. My greenery colors are not the typical color but I love the way they coordinate with the plaid background. 💖

I love 💜 this challenge and the choice of colours! I recently just discovered this brand and I can’t get enough! As a side note, do you know when you will be getting more of your inks in stock – it’s just that I want them all ! 😃

It’s never too early for Christmas cards right? I am happy my mojo is back so I started Christmas cardmaking as long as it’s here. 😅

Love the colors of this challenge so much! And I used so many different papers from my Pinkfresh Studio Collection, that was really fun :) The DT projects are so beautiful!

I used the layering stencil with full strength ink, light blended ink and an marker outline to create depth with one color. Love your layering stencils!

Used the Curvy Floral vine stamp and die for my greenery. A little ink blending on the stamp, gold embossing for the stems and a little bling to finish it off.

I may have a slight obsession with fussy cutting those gorgeous leaves from The Best Day collection so this challenge gave me the perfect chance to cut some more :)

Great challenge! I hope it’s okay to use one of your retired products – haven’t used this leafy wreath nearly enough!

This is my first time joining the fun! What a great challenge. It gave me the opportunity to use my Folk Garden set.
