I had the joy of participating in the Pinkfresh Create & Connect virtual event with one of my crafty besties here in town (she's the one who invited me to my very first ever crop where I learned about card making). We had a lot of fun creating together.
The first class was taught by the talented Lea Lawson with the new Whimsical Blooms stamps, stencils and washi tape. I really loved these colors and the mix of blooms in the set.
I didn't completely follow the instructions on any of the cards (which my friend reminded me has been my style for over 20 years.
We started with a washi tape card to get warmed up for two days of creative fun. I loved the gold Mini Slimline frame frame with the pre-printed gold sentiment.
We also learned how to emboss with a hot foil plate, which is the wonderful texture on the background.
For the second card we combined stamping and stenciling.
I love layering and ink-blending the circle frame for a background. We used the fun Pinkfresh Studio Gems in the centers of the blooms.
So much fun for class number one.
