Hello everyone!
I created one more card for the Pinkfresh Studio October 2026 Challenge, featuring the Cottage Flourish product suite from The Simple Things Release. The theme of this month’s challenge is Fall Foliage with an autumnal color palette. I used the challenge colors as my starting point, combining warm Begonia and Clementine with deep Regal Kiss and touches of green to give the Cottage Flourish design a rich autumn feel.
To start, I pressed the Cottage Flourish images in Detail Black and colored them using the coordinating stencils in the following colors.
- Stencil 1: Regal Kiss, Bay Leaf, Begonia, Grassy Knoll
- Stencil 2: Sweet Mustard, Begonia, Grassy Knoll, Bay Leaf
- Stencil 3: Begonia, Clementine, Regal Kiss
Once done with Stenciling, I die cut the images using the coordinating die and set them aside.
The background panel was created using emboss resist technique. I first ink blended a white panel in Begonia, Regal Kiss, and Bay Leaf and let it dry completely.
Next, I clear heat embossed the Cottage Flourish image onto the ink blended panel. I then blended the same colors over the panel once again. The clear embossed areas resisted the second layer of ink, allowing the lighter colors from the first ink-blended layer to show through and creating a subtle tone-on-tone effect.
I cut the finished background panel into two pieces and placed them on either side of the Cottage Flourish image as shown. The Cottage Flourish image and both background pieces were foam mounted for added dimension.
The sentiment from the Cottage Flourish stamp set was white heat embossed onto a strip of paper ink blended in Regal Kiss and Begonia. I added it vertically alongside the floral arrangement.
To finish, I added three Butterscotch Glitter Drops for a touch of sparkle.
