I loved using the new ink colors for my holiday projects!
Love all the inspiration from the designers, alway amazing projects! A little late to the challenge but I wanted to do one. Hoping I can squeeze another one.
This is a perfect time to put my holiday stamps and stencils to good use. ❤️💚❤️
I stamped the Folk Snowflake and sentiment in a gray ink, and then watercolored some of the sections in pink. Added some pink splatters and also a few gray glitter gems that I had in my stash! Used my bow die to create a pink bow to embellish my card.
It was so much FUN creating a double page layout for this Holiday Vibes Challenge! Merry Merry!
I finally used my free stencil for this challenge. I decided red and green made it festive for Christmas.
I think it would be fun to have a challenge where we can only use stencils to colour everything. Happy holidays!!!
So fun that I got to participate in the challenge as I ordered the Folk Snowflake (stamp, dies & stencil) – it arrived just in time. I layered two snowflakes (fussy cut one for a smaller version) – loved how it turned out.
Future challenges…mix it up (create projects from two different releases or themes), opposites attract (create projects from a winter release + a summer release or fall + spring)…I guess these suggestions are the same? LOL! This is all I can think of with little coffee. HA!
Such wonderful projects from your designers! They inspire me to do some crafting!
ALWAYS love Pinkfresh Studio’s monthly challenges!!! Fingers crossed I can win this one!❤️💚Happy Holidays!!
Thanks for this challenge – I’m always in need of holiday cards and end up making at least a couple pages about holiday happenings, but life this time is always so busy. Thanks for giving me a little push to get a little creative during the craziness.
I fell in love with the Festive Ticket set the minute I saw it. The die I will use all year long. Christmas blessing to all of you at Pinkfresh!
