Pinkfresh Studio April Essentials Release Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Pinkfresh Studio for their April Essentials Release Blog Hop!

Pinkfresh Studio-Braided Ovals, Classic & Classic Words, Classic Tags with Fillable Elements

I’ve created a couple of projects using these fun new essential dies. My first card features the Braided Ovals dies.

Pinkfresh Studio-Braided Ovals & Classic Words

I blended distress inks onto the smaller oval and splattered some liquid watercolor on it as well. For the sentiment I used one of the Classic Words dies with gold foil cardstock, and I layered it with one of the gold foil leave ephemera from the Everyday Musings Scrapbook collection.

Next is a simple tag showcasing one of the Classic Tags with Fillable Elements dies.

Pinkfresh Studio-Classic Tags with Fillable Elements & Classic Words

Again I blended the tag with distress inks and splattered liquid watercolor. For the sentiment I used another one of the Classic Words dies with gold foil cardstock as well as another gold foil leave ephemera.
