Hi Pinkfresh Studio friends!

I feel like I am sharing a true labour of love with you today. This card design took me a few hours to bring together due to the amount of detail and dimension involved. 

The Pure Joy stamp set is up there as one of the prettiest stamp sets by Pinkfresh Studio. It's such an elegant design and I really wanted to take my time with it. 

I began heat embossing two of the main focal images in white. Then, using the Pure Joy coordinating stencils I blended a number of Pinkfresh Studio dye inks:

Lemon Whip, Sage, Wisteria, Ballet Slipper, Eucalyptus and Rocky Slope.

After die cutting the images, I layered them up as I knew I wanted them to pop up from that Lemon Whip background.

Then, after die cutting the Dotted Chevron Coverplate I ink blended some Ballet Slipper and splattered it with gold. I then framed this with the Stitched Scallop Rectangles using foam strips.

By offsetting the circle focal image it allowed me room to add another part of the image in the bottom right corner. All of these images were popped up for dimension.

For the sentiment which is also from the Pure Joy stamp set, I heat embossed white on grey cardstock. Black cardstock just did not look right, too bold I think.

To finish, it was time for bling. The very pretty Blush Glitter Drops helped tie in all the colours especially the background. Some little dashes of white gel pen, and voila!

Make sure you keep an eye out for my reel over on Instagram @pinkfreshstudio

Until next time friends...
