Delighted to be joining Pinkfresh Studio today for its May release blog hop!
Read on because there are prizes (and because I want you to see pretty things...).
My first card uses the beautiful Painted Daisies floral image (it's one big photopolymer image) - stamped, stenciled and die cut, and a sentiment from Modern Script Sentiments. The latter is a large group of sentiments in either a regular stamp or hot foil stamp format, and a coordinating die. I used Pinkfresh Studio inks for both cards - I bought the complete set of ink cubes last year and they are my go to inks most of the time.
Stamped the Painted Daisies image, and when I was done coloring it with the stencils, and die cutting the image, I trimmed it, thinking that using just part of it on a card would be nice. Honestly, I mistakenly put the image in my paper trimmer upside down so I didn't get the result I had planned, but I still liked it. Adhered both pieces of the image with dimensional foam and added the sentiment and a few Pinkfresh Essentials Jewels.
TIP: I am all in on hot foiling. However, it's nice that you can get these products as stamps. If you are hot foiling, try using this Hammermill cardstock. It's a game changer. I was using Gina K cardstock to foil and was pretty happy, but then saw a lot of recommendations for Hammermill. There is a difference. I get perfect results 99% of the time and it's pretty cheap.

Hi, Joan -
Your cards are gorgeous - real beauties. I opted for the Stained Glass die and stencil. I just love that design and your card made with it is a geo delight. I have to watch my pennies currently ... maybe I can order more later in the summer. I'd love to win this. So stressed w/ the end of the year and moving classrooms. Anyhoo... I clicked on your Hammermill link and one ream is unavailable at this time. Poo. I can try again later on that too. I can't afford $155 for six or $130 for three reams.
Have a terrific Memorial Day Weekend!

Beautiful cards. Love the stained glass set.
your cards are yummy, the rich colors really pop. I'm finding the foiling to be such a wonderful addition to cards, and am slowly amassing "all the things" LOL
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Beautiful cards. The color combinations are divine!
I love your painted daisy card. The coloring is gorgeous. However I am in love with the stain glass card. Such a brilliant idea. I will probably steal your idea and I hope that is OK. I will have to look at some of my other background dies in a new light.
I love this release--one of the best ever! The new sentiment bundle is sweet as well as the new foil plates. congrats!
Joan,
You really know how to pick and use colors! Great job!
Gorgeous color! I love the Painted Daisies! Now even more!!
I love your designs!
This is such a neat card.
Hi,beautiful cards,love the vibrant colours especially the purple on the leaves very different. Awesome release. So much to choose from!
Gorgeous inking! I love the new release; you did a beautiful job with them!
OH MY GOSH, the colors are WOW on the first card. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Bold. Bright. Fabulous.
Your colors are fabulous and the Painted Daisies really stand out - gorgeous! I'm just starting to learn the hot foil system so I appreciated your tips. I'll try the Hammermill cardstock for better results!
Gorgeous Painted Daises!
Great inspiration! Maybe I'm OCD cause I tend to color realistically. Like green leaves....I would have never thought to color leaves blue and purple, but they look great! Also I would have never thought to trim down the Stained Glass...which also looks amazing!
Fantastic cards! I really love your stained glass panel!
Love these!!! So much fun and love the colors
Luv your purple leaves and landscape version of the geo release.
This is so pretty. My name does not come up - Liz Balaam

Your card has a wonderful simple elegance. I agree that Hammermill cardstock is the best for flawless foiling results.
What an inspiration putting the stain glass die sideways! This is my favorite set of the new release.

Joan, you have done such gorgeous things with these newest gems from Pinkfresh! The sentiments and the geo plate really need to come to mama!!
