Pinkfresh Challenge, Holidays

Good morning from sunny San Diego. It finally quit raining - yeah! Yesterday must have been monsoon season because, holy cow, did it rain and rain and blow and rain some more. But now it's sunny and clouds are few. Today looks to be shaping up nicely. And I finished my card, so let's get to it. 

I'm loving the Pinkfresh stamps and coordinating stencils. No copics involved, just inks and stencils. It's a new technique for me since attending the Pinkfresh Create and Connect event last month, and it's quite satisfying, to be honest. And the results are so pretty. Imagine all the color combos you could use!

The sentiment is from the new Foiled Sentiments die cuts from Pinkfresh. If you don't have a not foil machine (yet), these are great for adding a touch of shine to your card. 

Adding foam tape for lift and dimension is always a necessity, if you ask me. Dimension is life! Also, a little bling doesn't hurt either. These pearl dots have been in my stash for more years than I care to admit (ahem). Do you remember the heat tool you needed to attach the glue-backed rhinestones from so long ago? These are from that era. LOL By Imaginisce. I love them, but I adhere them with glossy accents as I no longer have the heat tool. Whatever works, right?

Inside message. Because I can't stay serious for very long at a stretch, I used this message on the inside of the card. It fit with the "believe" on the front, so....
