Pinkfresh Lovely Blooms

 

I am a day late, but here we are--this is the Double Duty Day!  This is the 46th month, so we are well in our 4th year!  WOW--4 years of making two cards with the same stamp from different companies each month!

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  We will post both cards on our blog on the the 22nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  We will be sure to have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

For October, the company we decided on is Pinkfresh Studio.  This is one of the favorite companies of all of us!  We also participate in many of their virtual classes.    I picked a set called Lovely Blooms.  This is a 3 piece set--stamp set, matching dies and a set of 6 stencils.

For both cards, I stamped the floral image with black ink and I actually stamped a few panels so I have extras.  I then ink blended two panels with the same Pinkfresh Studio inks.  I placed both panels on my Altenew Mat and moved the stencil from the first to the second without cleaning.  I then placed the panels back into my Misti where I left the floral stamp and reinked with black a second time.  YES--that was scary, but the Misti makes it easy as it does not move!    I then die cut both panels so I had 2 sets of the flowers.  I am not sure what company made the sentiments, but they might be Pinkfresh as they were in a plastic box containing other foiled PFS ones!

                           

For this peach card, the background is a Pinkfresh Studio Dotted Scallops plate.  The circle was cut from two dies in the Pinkfresh Studio Inverted Stitched Scallop Circles.   I used foam tape under the circle and the flowers I used.  I added some Trinity Studio Fireball embellishments around the circles.

                         

For the green card, I picked another Pinkfresh Studio plate called Modern Mosaic for the background.  The white arch is from Taylored Expressions and I picked two dies to make a wider frame. I also used foam tape behind the arch and the flowers.  Pinkfresh Leaf Glitter Drops were added inside the arch around the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed my cards for our group.  Please be sure to check out the other Double Duty cards. Here is a link to Jeanette's, Darlene’s  and  Carol's blogs.   I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of sets of great cards.    And, be sure to look back in their blogs as I am a day late.

Next month we will highlight another favorite of all of us, Concord & 9th.   So be sure to check out our cards on November 22nd!
