Hey everybody, Happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a great day and you’re able to enjoy some delightful Spring weather. We’re slowly but surely getting settled into our new house in Iowa – and I know we are going to thoroughly enjoy life here! I’m thrilled to share a Scrapbook Pal DT inspiration project created with the Pinkfresh Studio Kindness in Bloom stamps, stencils and dies. This is my second go using these products and this time I created a pretty thank you card employing the ‘floating strips’ technique. Amazing products, fun technique, and pretty purple and green color combo! I say that’s a win-win!

I inked the floral images from the Pinkfresh Studio Kindness in Bloom stamps using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Lessebo White cardstock. I placed the stamped images on a MISTI Sticky Mat anchored to my Ranger-Wendy Vecchi 7″ Make Art Stay-tion with magnets and inked them using the Pinkfresh Studio Kindness in Bloom stencils along with Ranger distress inks, tiny blending tools and foams. I used peeled paint, seedless preserves and fossilized amber distress inks for this project and then cut them with the coordinating Pinkfresh Studio Kindness in Bloom dies.
I cut a top-folding card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Amethyst cardstock along with a panel from Grafix Crystal Clear Craft Plastic and assorted widths of strips from CutCardStock Lessebo Amethyst, Lessebo Aubergine, Lessebo White and Plum cardstock. I used Scor-Tape in 1/8″, 1/4″ and 1/2″ sizes to adhere the strips in a random fashion to the acetate, leaving a space between each strip. Next, I applied strips of Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape on the back side of the acetate behind the strips and adhered the panel to the card base.
Finally I stamped a sentiment from the same Kindness in Bloom stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Lessebo White cardstock scrap and trimmed it. I adhered the sentiment and florals to the card front and added several iridescent gemstones, and this completed the card front.

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of the cardstock used on the front. I stamped an additional sentiment from the Kindness in Bloom stamp set in black ink and added a leftover floral.
