pinkfresh studio sunlit manor release blog hop

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio Sunlit Manor blog hop! I'm so thrilled to be joining in the fun!!!

Pinkfresh always wows me with their GORGEOUS floral stamps and this release is no exception!!! I mean, look at these!!!

I love that each design has a stamp, coordinating die, stencil and press plate! It gives you so much versatility!!!

For these cards I used the press plates to create embossed texture on the backgrounds of the card and then layered stamped, die cut and colored florals over the top.


Ok, now before you go on to the next hop stop, let's talk about all the cool GIVEAWAYS! 

  • Pinkfresh is giving away the full release on their blog and YouTube!
  • You also have a chance to win one of TEN $50 gift cards to the Pinkfresh shop by leaving comments here and at each hop stop!
  • Winners will be announced on June 3rd, on the PF GIVEAWAY PAGE. And prizes must be claimed within two weeks.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Ok, I have GOT to remember to use my press plates with no ink on them! Thank you so much for reminding me how beautifully they add texture and bump up a design! Also--major props at the restraint you showed on the splatter. That's one of my most difficult things. Once I start, I can't stop. lol Beautiful work!

LOVE the soft, delicate colors...I always have a hard time not going too heavy, so I'm impressed when someone successfully does the lighter colors!

Hi, Carly - It's hard to figure out how to leave a comment. I love what you've shared for the Pinkfresh hop - esp the texture you have in the background by using the press plate. These are beautiful!!
