I am a day late in posting this, but on the 22nd of each month a group of us challenge ourselves to create 2 different cards using the same set, sentiment, etc on each card. We have a predetermined list of the stamp company or specific challenge for each month and then...away we go!
Stamps by Pinkfresh Studios (one of our favorite companies!) were selected for this month's challenge. I decided to a set that we received from one of their virtual events, "Pure Joy" stamps, stencils and dies. A personal favorite of mine.
Here are the two cards that I made.
The border features a die from the "Rounded and Braided Rectangles" set by Pinkfresh Studios.
The images and sentiment are gold embossed. Then the images were painted free hand. Everything is popped up for dimension. A sheet of glossy gold card stock is layered on the reverse side of the front panel.
The second card is ink blended using the stencils and a combination of inks from Taylored Expressions and Gina K Designs. A light amount of pink ink was blended onto the front panel of the card, and the sentiment is stamped directly onto the panel.
A layer of pink card stock is mounted inside the card, onto the back panel so that when the card is closed the pink shows through the die cut border.
Repeated on each card are the die cut images, the border dies, the round layout of the images, and the sentiments from the same stamp set.
I have to revisit this set again and experiment with the images and sentiments in a layout that isn't circular. That could be fun.

Darlene, I really like what you did with this double duty project. It is so impressive how different the two look with the bold blue background vs. the white. Lovely cards!
These cards are so different, but both are stunning! You rocked the challenge this month!
