This is another card that I created for the February 2025 Pinkfresh Challenge and for my 1,000 Followers Giveaway. The challenge theme was Transparent Treasures, so I created a shaker element. The Pinkfresh ink colors for the challenge are Sweet Mustard, Peach Fuzz, Cherry Blossom, Waterfall, and Hydrangea. I used gold instead of Sweet Mustard.
All products are by Pinkfresh, unless otherwise noted.
Sentiment
Because I wanted to use pastes for my sentiments, I started with them. First I applied Cherry Blossom and Begonia through one of the stencils from the Pinkfresh Studio Brushed Sentiments Product Suite. Then I moved on to Ranger Lunar Paste in Gold Rush. When that was dry, I applied Ranger Lunar Paste in Cookie Dough. Cookie Dough is my favorite color in Lunar Paste. Such a beautiful, warm silver sheen!
When the pastes were thoroughly dry, I die cut the sentiments with the coordinating die.
Background
I foiled the background with the Spellbinders Hypnotic Glimmer Background Plate in gold. Then I cut it down to 3 ¾″ by 5″, stabilized it with a layer of heavy white cardstock and added foam tape to the back.
Decorations
I stamped the flowers from the Chrysanthemum Product Suite on vellum and heat embossed them with Ranger Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder in White. Then I used the coordinating die to cut them out.
Shaker Element
For my shaker element I used dies from the Shaker Tag Book Die Set. For this card, I created a background tag, as well as a window tag. Then I colored the background and the hole reinforcer with Cherry Blossom Ink. I added foam tape to the back of the window tag and filled it with gold sequins and Kat Scrappiness Pearl Glass Shaker Dots. Then I adhered the backing tag.
Assembly
I started by adding the foiled background to an A2 notecard. Then I spread out the vellum flowers and glued them to the background where they would be covered by the shaker tag. I glued the shaker tag at an angle on top of the flowers.
I added some flowers to the shaker card. Then I glued the sentiment to the bottom of it. The top of the shaker looked a bit empty and I had run out of vellum flowers. But I still had an extra hummingbird on my desk from the previous card. So I added the bird to the top right.
Finally I scattered some Metallic Pearls in Gold around the card.
