Hello Pinkfresh friends, it's Karlla here and I am so happy to share this project with you all. The new monthly challenge is currently underway here at Pinkfresh, and I’m excited to share my take on it with you. I simply LOVED the proposed "Ombré Obsession" challenge!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Cut a sheet of white cardstock to 10" x 12", and a strip of the Stay Present paper to 2.5" x 12".
-
Attach the floral paper strip to the back of the white cardstock, creating a 12" x 12" base. Optional: add some machine or hand-stitching for more texture.
- Use the Sparkling Rose, Waterfall, Sweet Mustard, and Clementine ink cubes and drag each of them over a piece of white cardstock twice, slightly overlapping the lines.
-
Cut the colors apart. Optional: add stitching to each of the strips.
-
Position the colored strips onto the base & adhere them using foam tape, creating an overlapping effect. Each color should be at a different height.
- Frame your photo with a frame from the Chipboard Stickers. Adhere it to the left side of the colored strips.
-
Fussy cut some lemons & oranges from the Inner Glow paper, and cut some of the flowers from the Florals Ephemera apart. Adhere them with foam adhesive to the corresponding colored section.
-
Embellish to your liking with elements from the Puffy Stickers, Ephemera, Cardstock Stickers, etc.
-
Finish with the beautiful Metallic Enamel Dots.

I had a lot of fun creating this layout And I hope you can feel all my love. I hope you find inspiration. I can't wait to see your creations using this new collection.

With love,
