Inkspirational Challenge #331 - Use Stencils - Wishing You A Magical Holiday (Pinkfresh Studio - Holiday Magic)

Hello,

Before I share my card, a bit of housekeeping to attend to:

First: this will be our wrap-up challenge for 2024. To give our team a bit of a break - and you, our wonderful participants, more playing time - it will run for THREE weeks rather than the usual two. If you receive new crafting supplies as Christmas gifts, be sure to share them with us! 

Second: things will look a bit different for us in 2025 as our wonderful teammate, Marina, has decided - after being part of Inkspirational for the past 12 years - to step down. I don't even have words to express how deeply - and on how many levels - she will be missed. Her creativity, her support and encouragement, her insights...those gaps will be felt for a very long time. She's assured us that she'll continue to play in challenges, so we'll keep her at her word! Marina...the door is always open. We love you!

Our challenge for the next three weeks is: Use Stencils. No twists; just embrace whatever stencils are catching your fancy of late and dazzle us with your inky delights. 



A few months ago, I fell head-over-heels for Pinkfresh Studios' Christmas in July collection. This set - Holiday Magic - is ohmystars lovely! Even though I've had the press plate, dies and stencils for a while, today marks their first 'official' showing. The press plate glimmers beautifully (I used silver foil); the stencils, align and ink wonderfully; the dies cut like butter.  So happy to have invested in this rather timeless set.


Please head over to the main blog to see the beautiful cards created by my wonderful teammates, then play along with us.

See you in the gallery!
Thank you for dropping by!
