October Create and Connect : Craft Along

I signed up for last month's Craft Along with Heather and Lea from Pinkfresh Studio as the class is great value (only $10USD) and if you can join them live, there's a chance to win gift certificates and chat with them before you start crafting as the event is held via a Zoom meeting. 

October's class was also featuring a stamp set I had bought as I loved it but hadn't used PLUS they were using their new inks. I have been waiting for so long for them to fill in the gaps in their ink collection but it's been a really slow process for them to get it right. Some of the original inks I think there are problems with the formulation as they were the last to be restocked and my 2 pads here are crystalline messes (Candied Apple and Raspberry Bliss). I hope this new batch is perfect as there are some beautiful colours amongst the blends.

The new Craft Along for November is in a few days and as you only have access to the videos for 30 days, I thought I'd better pull my finger out and get started on October's cards. When you sign up for the class you do get a PDF to download with detailed instructions and lots of photos.

This is Heather Hoffman's class card using products I owned so could just follow along as is. Lea's class I had to substitute the stamp set for another in my stash. It's actually a lot of fun looking in the albums in the PFS Fan Group on FB and seeing what others substitute to use.

Supply List (Pinkfresh Studio):
Stamps: Best Thing

Ink: Warm Buff, Doe, Peony, Begonia, Mulberry Blush, Sunkissed, Mimosa, Fruit Punch, Spansih Moss

Other: Dotted Lattice coverplate, Champagne glitter drops

Well I love this card, lots of tips and tricks shared. I just wish I hadn't been such a clean wee crafter as I had rubbed all the ink of my blending brushed but got a tiny bit out to give a hint on the left and right hand sides. I also like how we filled the bird cage in with the die cut out pieces so it wasn't too busy behind.

Update I did manage to finish of Lea's card later in the day.

Supply List (Pinkfresh Studio):
Stamps: Happy for You

Ink: Turquoise, Paradise; Wisteria, Hydrangea; Sage, Eucalyptus and Spruce Tips

Other: Art Deco Frame die, Dotted Lattice coverplate, Aqua and Amethyst glitter drops

Even though I ink-blended all 4 flowers from this stamp set I couldn't work out how I could use them in the frame and I actually like that's it's so clean and not too full PLUS I have 3 other images for another card ;)
