Hi Pinkfresh Studio friends

Glad to see you stopping by today!

When I saw the newly released Blooming Arch set, I immediately knew I had to make a box card with it. I wanted to create the illusion of being able to walk through the arch and give it some depth to achieve this. 

I cut an A2 back panel using the Hearts & Stars Coverplate Die and attached this to an A2 card base. Setting this aside, I heat embossed the Blooming Arch Press Plate in gold foil. Using the co-ordinating stencils, I coloured the arch and florals in Mulberry Blush, Aquamarine, Evergreen and Gathered Twigs.

Before I attached to the base that was already prepared. I die cut some background leaves using the Curvy Leaves Die. This pulled the colour from the florals.

After die cutting the arch, I then proceeded to cut and score the corrugated cardstock that I would attach to each side of the arch.

Each corrugated panel is 5" x 1 1/2" scored at 1/2" and 1" 

After gluing these panels to both the arch and the prepared card base, I added some hot foiled Small Butterflies. Then, I stamped that fab sentiment in Detailed Black attaching it to the back panel. Finished with some Gold Metallic Pearls and this box card is complete. t has fantastic dimension!

It fits perfectly in an A2 Acetate box, which I purchased from Amazon many years ago and had never remembered to use!

If I were to give to this box card to someone, I would wrap the acetate box in gift wrap for the recipient. 

Are you inspired? Are you going to give this a try? I sure hope so. If you do, make sure you tag Pinkfresh Studio!

As my usual I have made a reel filming my process that you can find over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio

Until next time fiends...
