Tone on Tone Family Layout

Oh - I have a great plan for a photo- I told my family. Let’s take a picture of all of us in the canola field. As my entire family humoured my crazy plan I forgot that we grow great canola crops. In fact our crops were so tall that the picture turned out like I had photo shopped our heads with no bodies into a field of yellow. FYI - this was not the look that I was going for! 😂😂



But my family loves me and helped me get a picture close to what I was looking for by all of us standing on the very edge of the field. 
It’s stories like this that I love to scrapbook. And it’s why I love scrapbooking so much. 

I had fun playing with the ton on tone  challenge for Pink Fresh Studio this month. This was a fun one to join.

NOEL Shaker card

Interactive cards are so much fun - so I decided to take a card I made earlier and tweak it making a second card but this time changing it up to be a shaker card. 
I am so happy with how it turned out. 


Using the amazing Pink Fresh Studio products this card came together beautifully.

Teal and Pink Hibiscus Card

Ok - hear is one of my favourite color combos for the Pink Fresh Studio amazing Hibiscus stamp stencil set. 
Now - these florals were inked up this summer during my evening inking sessions at the cabin. So that means that these are made from the original Pink Fresh Ink colors. I can’t wait to get my new ink colors Togo back to all my stamp stencil sets and see what new color combos I fall in love with. 
But for today this is my card to share with teal and pink florals. 


Look at those colors. I have never been to Hawaii- but to me this has Hawaiian florals written all over it. Especially having heat embossed the stamped image in gold. 
I layered this on a lovely background die used on pearlized champagne card stock laid on top of gold card stock. 


I love this color combo for this card and a little bit of bling just finished the card off. 


For You - Pink Fresh Card

I had so much fun being inky with the Hibiscus stamp stencil set this summer. And when I ink a set for a scrapbook layout I often make more than I need. But that’s not really a problem- it just means that I have extra to make 1 or more cards from. That is how this card came about. 


Look at those lovely mauve and pink florals - I must have been in a creative mood when I inked those up and decided to ink the leaves in blue. My daughter wasn’t so sure - Mom I don’t think I have ever seen blue leaves - was her comment. Oh well - I think it adds some interest. 
Along with the hibiscus florals I added a butterfly, sentiment and bling all topped on the gorgeous background. That die cut background was cut from gold card stock layered on top of a piece of champagne pearlized card stock. 

I am happy with how this turned out and I will be entering this card in the following Pink Fresh Studio Challenge 

Pink Fresh Tone on Tone in Greens

I am challenging myself to start making more Christmas Cards - because you know it will be here before we know it. 
Today the card I am sharing is a tone in tone Merriest Christmas card in greens. 


All of the products are beautiful Pink Fresh Studio items. The lovely forest stencils are such a joy to play with. Combing the stencilled piece with the banner die negative in gold card stock I think made such a beautiful and simple card. I then added the sentiment and some bling in the corner and tada! 



I will be entering this card in this months Pink Fresh challenge which is all about tone on tone.

Tone on tone Pink Fresh Noel Card

This is one of my latest Christmas card designs. I was very happy with how simple test elegant this card turned out. 


The beautiful Ornate alphabet dies pair beautifully with the hot foiled ornaments. A little bling on the lovely background die cut paper is a lovely base to this card. I may just have to try this design in different color schemes.

Pink Fresh Hi card

I spent World Card Day playing in my craft room to create some new cards to add to my stash. I like to have a large selection on hand that I can grab and use. 
This card is made using the gorgeous Pink Fresh inks to stencil the geometric background in the lovely oranges. The lovely flowers are Folk Art Garden 2 that I got foiled and then ink stencilled. 


This was a fun card to create. Not my usual color scheme to use but I think it turned out great.
