Pinkfresh StudioGather & Bloom Release Blog Hop

Hello again friends!

I'm back on the blog celebrating a very special new release from Pinkfresh Studio.

If you love unique scenes, backgrounds and of course florals, you'll love each and everyone of these products.

For today's hop, I'm showcasing the Heirloom Cottage Press Plate and the coordinating layering stencils and die set:

I've used a limited color palette to create four clean looking cards with lots of texture.

For my first card I used the Heirloom Cottage Press Plate and Champagne Glimmer foil onto a cream A2 panel. I used the coordinating stencils to add color with Storm, Peony and Candy Apple and Sunshine. After cutting out this panel with the Heirloom Cottage die I foam mounted it onto another panel I had dried embossed with the Heirloom Patchwork Coverplate die.

I ink blended the edges of my background with Storm and tucked in some flowers from the same set.

For my second card I've created an easel card using both the frame and flowers of this set.

To color my frame I used Grassy Knoll, Olive, Paradise and Atlantis.

I used the Heirloom stencils to add a bunch of flowers onto my front panel and glued some additional blooms on the inside as a stopper for the main panel.

This frame is perfect to create shaker cards:

Too add some additional texture on the background, I used the stand alone flower press plate from the Heirloom Cottage Press Plate set. I stuck to a similar color palette: Storm, Peony, Candy Apple, Grassy knoll and Olive.

For my fourth card I created a a two tone frame and fussy cut the flowers to used them as focal point.

To add some interest, I cut out the front panel of my side folding card and aligned it with my Heirloom Cottage frame:

I dried embossed the front panel of another side folding card with the Stitched Heart Lattice Press Plate, turned it around and adhered it to the main side folding piece.

It's just a simple way of creating a fun fold to your handmade cards.

There are tons of inspiration on today's hop and of course prizes:
