Hi Pinkfresh Studio friends!

I am back today and sharing a 5 x 7 card instead of my regular A2 size but, using A2 sized Pinkfresh Studio products. 

Sometimes, when using washi tapes I like to go over the A2 panel. I love to make it lush and layered. So, this was my solution, add the A2 panel on a 5 x 7 card base!

Let's see how this card came together...

First, I pulled out my very favourite Twist Pattern Die that was released recently. I cut this three times, 2 in white cardstock and the top layer in Glacier Cardstock.

Using the same Glacier Cardstock I cut out an A2 panel with the Blanket Stitched Rectangle Die. I layered up the Twist die cuts then added these to the A2 panel. Background done!

Everyone knows I am a big Pinkfresh Studio Washi Tape fan- which, at the time of writing this blog post today, shows some washi's are on sale!! So, no surprise that I used the brand new and very glorious, Deck The Halls Washi Tape for my main card focus. 

I cut two panels in thick white cardstock and adhered the washi tape. I die cut two panels so I would have plenty to play with. Then, proceeded to arrange the die cut pieces. If I am honest, this is really what takes the time with washi tape-taking the time to think about placement can really help for a great finished design.

Some of the pieces are attached with thin foam squares, and others with the thicker foam squares. For the sentiment Pinkfresh Studio have just released this fabulous fonted (say that fast!), Holiday Greeting Sentiment Stamp Set. Arghhh, the font is amazing and reminds me of vintage Christmas in the Dickens era in London.

I was tuck between two sentiments but ended up opting for this one. I used Calico White stamped on black cardstock then heat embossed with white embossing powder. Really makes the sentiment pop!

I die cut a circle and popped the sentiment on top. I felt the sentiment just needed something behind it so it was not lost in the Twist Patter background. 

To finish I used a few Ruby Glitter Drops to draw the colours together.

This card is a glittering festive design and I love how it tuned out.

I hope I have inspired you today friends...keep and eye out for my reel over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio to see it coming together on video. 

Bye for now
