Holiday Card with a Non-Holiday Floral Wreath

Hello everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start!

I’m on the Pinkfreshstudio blog today sharing a happy pastel holiday card that brings a soft, whimsical twist to Christmas crafting! This card features the beautiful floral elements from the Bloomscape product suite from the Pinkfresh Studio November Release! With the coordinating die that cuts out all the individual floral images, it’s easy to build custom arrangements. To enhance the holiday feel, I paired the pastel florals with a playful background created using the Christmas Lights coverplate die and stencils and embellished the wreath with Ruby Glitter Drops as ornaments 🎄

To start, I stamped the Bloomscape image onto a white panel using Detail Black ink and then colored it using the coordinating stencils. The ink colors I used for the pastel color palette are as follows.

– Stencil 1 (Leaves): Grassy Knoll, Olive
– Stencil 2 (Leaves): Ocean Breeze, Aquamarine
– Stencil 3 (Flowers): Apricot, Mango Sorbet
– Stencil 4 (Flowers): Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum
– Stencil 5 (Flowers): Lavender, Waterfall plus Marigold for the flower centers

Once done with stenciling, I cut the florals with the coordinating die and set them aside.

For the background, I first colored the front of a white cardbase using the Christmas Lights stencils. I chose pastel rainbow colors for the lights : Sparkling Rose, Marigold, Mango Sorbet, Soft Lilac, Grassy Knoll and Waterfall. I then cut a white panel with the Christmas Lights coverplete die and adhered it to the cardbase.

I arranged the Bloomscape florals into a wreath, secured them temporarily with Press’n Seal, added foam tape to the back and adhered the wreath to the center of the card.

The sentiment from the Shelf Edit: Magic of the Season Press Plate was pressed in black and die-cut. I stacked it with four additional die cut pieces for dimension. Two banners, cut with the Basic Banners die; one out from red cardstock, and another from Glacier Glitter Cardstock, were added to the center of the wreath as a festive mat for the sentiment.

To finish off the holiday card, I scattered a few Ruby Glitter Drops on the wreath as ornaments.

I love how this wreath, created with non-holiday florals and soft pastel colors, takes on a distinctly Christmas feel with just a few thoughtful details. The red banner and glittering embellishments tie everything together and show how versatile these floral images can be throughout the year. I hope this card inspires you to look at your florals in a new way and experiment with unexpected color palettes for the holidays.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, and I wish you a wonderful holiday season 🎄!
