Thank you so much for this inspiring theme. I love creating rainbow blends!
Thanks for this challenge! It’s fun to go through my Pinkfresh collections to see what will work, and in this case, there are multiple options for cool gradients using patterned papers AND of course your inks.
The monthly challenge is a fun way to work on different techniques!! I love ink blending so I pulled out the various shades of pink.
Please make dragonflies.
Thanks! HUGS to all of the fabulous design team makers – you are the best in the BIZ!

I recently found this challenge and am glad I did as I love Pinkfresh Studio products and have quite a few. I love ink blending and used it as a gradient background on my 2nd card for this challenge.
I don’t normally think “rainbow” when I think ombre or gradients, so I went a bit rogue on this one. I do absolutely love the rainbow look on the Magnolia Pattern background, but I also made three more cards in shades of purple, pink, and gray. There’s no wrong way to color this beautiful floral!
I love ink blending so this challenge was a lot of fun to incorporate with the Never Give Up stamp set. I used a gradient of different pinks but with quite a bit of contrast. Stencils make coloring an image so quick and easy.
Such a great theme and I love all the DT inspiration! I went with my new ink shades in the green-yellow group of colors.
I wanted to create a card using paper from the Delightful collection. I also used floral ephemera from the Flower Market collection and a stamp and die sentiment from Extra Special Sentiments. I chain stitched my circles to add brightness and a focal point for my sentiment .
