This is the second card I made for the December 2024 Pinkfresh Challenge. This time I used both the theme, Magical Holidays, and the color palette:
Cherry Blossom
Berrylicious
Sunkissed
Mermaid Cove
Spruce Tips
Poinsettias
I started by stamping and heat embossing the big Poinsettia stamp set twice: once with gold embossing powder on Hammermill and once with Distress Embossing Glaze in Speckled Egg on vellum.
Then I used the stencils and the inks in the challenge palette on the gold-heat-embossed florals. On the vellum florals, I frosted the tips of flowers and leaves with some white acrylic paint.
I cut out both flower versions with the coordinating die. Behind the white florals I layered some Accent Opaque.
Sentiment
I stamped the Pinkfresh Christmas Sentiments Stamp on vellum and heat embossed it in gold. Then I cut out all the sentiments and selected Joy to the World for my card.
Background
To add texture to the background I used the Pinkfresh Daisy Chain Cover Plate on Hammermill cardstock. I glued the panel to Recollections Gold Foil Cardstock.
Then I foiled the Pinkfresh Decorative Frames Press Plate with Satin Gold Glimmer Foil and cut out the frames with the coordinating die. I layered Accent Opaque behind the second largest frame. Next I cut down my background and glued the frame onto it.
Assembly
I added the framed background to my white cardbase. Then I played around with my floral elements until I was happy. The sentiment is glued to one of the floral arrangements and popped up on foam tape at the other end. To finish up I scattered lots of Pinkfresh Glitter Drops in Blush and Ombre Sparkle & Shine across the card.
