Hello everyone!
Today I’m sharing a bright and happy card inspired by the Pinkfresh Studio March 2026 Challenge! The theme is Sew Much Fun with a pretty pastel color palette. In February, Pinkfresh Studio released a unique collection that makes every sewing crafter’s heart happy, and this challenge is the perfect opportunity to use those new goodies!
I watercolored a small floral image, framed it with the Embroidery Hoop, and added two spools of thread and a needle to give the impression that the floral image is being stitched. I also followed the challenge color palette for my card. You can use the theme, the colors, both or neither—it’s totally up to you, as the Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge is an Anything Goes Challenge! The theme and colors are simply there to inspire you! Just make sure to use primarily Pinkfresh Studio products!
Let’s take a look at my card!
To start, I die cut the Premium Watercolor Paper using the Embroidery Hoops die and stamped the curved branch image from the Floral Kaleidoscope stamp set in Detail Black along the border of the central circle piece four times. Since the stamp includes several images, I carefully inked only the branch image by masking the surrounding images with scrap paper. Next, I stamped the floral image in the center of the circular panel.
I then watercolored the images using the Premium Liquid Watercolors – Raspberry Bliss and Bubble Gum for the flowers, and Grassy Knoll with a touch of Sunshine for the leaves.
Using The Stitch Edit: Maker’s Essentials die, I die cut two spools and a needle from Premium Watercolor Paper and colored them with the same watercolors as the floral images. I set all the watercolored elements aside to dry and began working on the background.
To create the background, I first ink blended the middle part of a white panel with Summer Shower and the top and bottom edges with Wisteria, I then die cut the panel using the Petal Mosaic coverplate die. To add more interest, I stenciled over the background using the Petal Mosaic stencil set, blending Summer Shower and Wisteria over the corresponding inked areas for a tone-on-tone effect.
I adhered the finished background panel to a white cardbase and added the watercolored center piece of the Embroidery Hoop to the center of the card. The hoop frame was die cut from kraft cardstock and foam mounted for dimension.
The sentiment from the Room for Joy stamp set was stamped in Detail Black, die cut with the coordinating die, stacked with two additional die cut layers and added to the card. I then added the spools to the right side of the sentiment.
To finish the card, I embellished the leafy wreath with a few iridescent Clear Drops for a subtle sparkle.
