I am really in love with the washi from PinkFresh Studio and decided that their Joyful Bouquet Washi kind of fits with this colour theme. There's a bit of purple here but I tried my best to make sure the pinks, yellows and oranges were captured most. And by adding an orange/yellow ink blended background in the center, it really brings these colours to life for this card.

The creative process was really simple and is as follows:

- adhere washi tape to some thin cardstock, Neenah Exact 110lb

- Use PinkFresh Studio Joyful Bouquet coordinating die to cut out images

- Cut a 4- 3/4" x 6-3/4" light yellow Recollections cardstock panel

- ink blend cardstock with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade in center and fade out with Distress Oxide Wild Honey

- sprinkle panel with some water and remove water droplets with dry towel

- Foil using Spellbinders Aura Foil, the PinkFresh Studio Perfect Sentiments Foil plate, on white cardstock and cut out using coordinating die

- Arrange washi die cut images around the ink blended panel to create a border and adhere with BearlyArt Glue and foam squares

- cut off any overhanging images and save for card inside

-adhere the foiled sentiment to the center with foam squares

-embellish with PinkFresh Studio light pink and cream jewels

For the card center, I used left over items from the front and similar techniques...

- Cut a 10" x 7" center folded card base from heavy weight white cardstock

- ink blend on diagonally opposite corners of card inside with Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade and Distress Oxide Wild Honey, just like the card front (fading into the white card center)

- Adhere leftover overhanging washi cut offs to each corner to continue the theme from the card front

-Stamp the sentiment from the Altenew Engraved Flowers Stamp Set using masking and Distress Oxide Kitsch Flamingo ink and VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink

-attach the front panel leaving a 1/4" white border to the card base

...and voila! Your card is done!

I absolutely love using these washi tapes for cards as they are easy to use and make for quick cards when you are at a loss for time. 

I hope you've been inspired by this card and please feel free to leave a comment as I love hearing from you!
