Pinkfresh Studio 4th Birthday Bash Blog Hop

Good morning! I am so excited this morning to be hopping along with a fabulous line-up to celebrate Pinkfresh Studio's 4th Birthday! There are a lot of amazing cardmakers and scrapbookers along the hop - and prizes at every stop! Make sure and leave a comment here before you leave for a chance to win a $40 gift certificate to the Pinkfresh Store . There is one at every stop of the blog, so your chances of winning are Good!!

You should have arrived here from the amazing Ashley Horton - if not, hop on over to the Pinkfresh Blog to start at the very beginning!



For my hop project I incorporated the sketch I drew up from the April Challenge.


The background stamp is the Lined Floral backgrounds


I then added a piece of silver thread and matted over the solid cardstock. With several sheets of white cardstock, I die cut one of the flowers from Floral Squares dies. 


The sentiment was then stamped and die cut from Word Series: Thanks. To finish off, I added white and silver Nuvo drops and a splatter of black spray. 

















It's quite a simple card and fun to make.  Now back to the hop, be sure to comment below for a chance to win a $40 gift card to the Pinkfresh Store. Winners will be announced on the PFS site next Monday April 9th at 12:30 PST

Here is the line-up.

  64. Blue is my favorite colour so it got that vote, love the flowers guess with spring here that is all I notice lately every where, and the string was a nice tie in. Not that it needs it, I would love to see a different colour for the word thank you. Feel like it blends in too much. But doesn't take away from the fact that it is a super pretty card.

  88. Many happy returns of the day! Cup cakes seem to be yummy indeed. Went for an art and craft exhibition with mom at one of the high rated Chicago venues few days back. Loved the collection and bought two pieces for our dining room. Even the expensive tea sets were lovely and carvings for walls were appealing as well.
