September has arrived, and we’re so excited to see what you’ll create this month! Whether you’re crafting layouts, cards, or mini projects, this challenge is the perfect chance to play with color in a whole new way. 💜🔵

This month’s theme is Tone-on-Tone & Monochrome Magic. ✨ Pick a single color and bring it to life by layering different tones and shades—or explore the tone-on-tone technique for added depth and dimension. To spark your creativity, we’ve provided a color palette to choose from—just pick one hue as your star and let it shine!

Neutrals like white, black, and metallics are always welcome accents, and don’t be afraid to mix in textures, layers, and techniques. The spotlight stays on your chosen color, and we can’t wait to see the monochrome magic you dream up!

Quick reminder: You can enter up to 3 new, never-before-seen projects in each month’s challenge.

Check out yesterday's post for the June challenge winners and Top 3 Projects. Maybe you will be featured next! Ready to join the fun? Let’s get crafting!

We’re so excited to see how you incorporate the Tone-on-Tone/Monochrome Magic theme into your projects! For those inspired by the color scheme, here are the best matching ink shades:  Atlantis, Tidal Pond, Olive, Sheer Freesia, Regal Kiss 

✨ Remember: ✨
Our monthly challenge is an Anything Goes Challenge: While the theme and colors are here to inspire you, feel free to enter any NEW project that primarily uses Pinkfresh Studio products. Whether you use the theme, the colors, both or none—it’s up to you. At the end of the day, we just want you to get crafty and have fun!

Let’s see what you create! 💛
