Pinkfresh Studio {Missing Our Talks}

Hello and welcome, friends! I'm popping in today to share a couple of cards using some fun newish products from Pinkfresh Studio! I was 100 percent inspired by some mini slimline cards that Yana Smakula made back in April. I watched her video, placed my order, and waited patiently until my order arrived. One of the reasons why I fell in love with her cards is because of the washi tape accents. I have rolls and rolls of gorgeous washi tape leftover from my days on the Pinkfresh Studio design team and this is such a fun way to use it!

I don't have the variety of tape that she used, so I just went through my stash to find one that I liked and then I pulled ink to match the flowers. This was the inspiration for how I colored my buildings.

To begin, I stamped the buildings in black using the Darling District Stamp Set onto white cardstock. Both buildings are on one stamp, so it makes it easy to make the two very easily. The Darling District Stencil Collection also colors both buildings at once so it's so easy and time saving!

Once the stamping and stenciling was done, I used the coordinating Darling District Die to cut both buildings. I cut them again and glued the two together for a sturdy piece. I really just followed Yana's tutorial to a T....ha ha! I chose the same sentiment that she did as well because it fits so nicely on the card, but there are quite a few other sentiments and the die includes the coordinating dies for each sentiment, except the little shop names. 

I arranged the washi flowers around the buildings and secured them with foam squares. It's been awhile since I used Shimmer Spray, so I gave each panel a spritz or two for sparkle and shine and then added some gems using liquid glue and then mounted the panels onto white mini slimline card bases using foam squares. 

I love how these came out and it was just the perfect personal creative project I needed before I dive into design team projects! Thanks for fluttering by!
