Pinkfresh Studio has some of the most beautiful Washi tape. I've ordered a couple of sets and have received the complete suites a couple of times for big events. This summer's Create and Connect event featured a gorgeous Washi tape designed and watercolored by Dawy Woleslagle. I followed along with the video for her second card, and when I was finished I was a bit puzzled because I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Pinkfresh sends a wonderful book with directions and photographs of the cards that will be made in class in addition to Make and Takes by other designers. I had looked at the card in the book and liked it a lot. When Dawn created it in class she added a lot more floral pieces to the frame, and it was too much for me. I took my card apart and put it back together again so it's very similar (but not identical) to the one in the book.
In addition to the Washi tape and coordinating dies, there is also a stamp and stencils. I've yet to try those, but am quite sure you'll see some eventually. It was hard to capture the beautiful foiling in this Washi, but this photos catches a bit of it.
The sentiment here is part of the stamp set, and the dies cut out the sentiments which I love. This sentiment and the floral are on another of the products for the class. When I first saw the Dotted Fancy Frames I wasn't sure if I'd like them. But when layered together as they are here, I'm very fond of them.
The next card is simpler and, not surprisingly, a design I came up with when I ended up with three of the large florals from the Washi Tape on my desk.
I found an already embossed Honey Bee Winter Gems card front in my stash. I know it says winter but when done white on white, I think it works with these pretty flowers as well. This card could not be simpler or quicker. I added the large image with some thin dimensional tape and another sentiment from the stamp set.
I also added a few of the Iridescent Dew Drops that were also part of the event kit.
I'm getting these posted just under the wire for the Pinkfresh World Card Making Day Challenge. I was in Italy for WCMD, but am happy to have these completed before the challenge ends.
