It’s time to kick off our monthly challenge for April! Our challenges begin on the second Friday of each month, and each month will have a different theme. We hope you’ll use it as inspiration to create a card!
This month’s theme is: Flowers!
They say April showers bring May flowers – well we’re starting the flower party in April! Create a new card or project this month using any sort of floral stamps, dies, embossing folderes, etc – whatever creative use of flowers you can come up with!
Pink & Main products are encouraged on your challenge card, but not required. We just want to see what this month’s theme inspires you to create! You can enter your cards for this month’s challenge in one of two ways: in the Inlinkz link-up at the bottom of this post, or in the April album in our Pink & Main Creations Gallery Facebook Group. Enter for a chance to win a Pink & Main store credit worth $25.
Submissions close on Wednesday, May 7 at 11:59pm ET. The winning entry will be selected randomly and posted with the next new challenge blog post.
Let’s take a look at what our Pink & Main Challenge Team created with this month’s theme…
Brennan has flowers represented in a couple of ways on this lovely challenge card. There are little flowers on the cactus from Planter Friends, and then the gorgeous tone on tone stamping in the background using a flower cluster from My Little Love Bug.
Dominique also used the adorable kitty planter image, and got her flowers in using patterned paper from the Happy Days pad. Card Cut Essentials Set 2 helped with her card layout.
What’s that you say? You’d like to see even more inspiration using Planter Friends? Well never fear, we’ve got you! 😉 Jennifer created a cute little shelf to display her planters! So fun! And her use of the Quilted Embossing Folder totally looks like wallpaper!
Now for some other flower options! June pulled out her Daisy Days Bundle for this lovely floral card. We love how she created the shaker within her flowers!
Lee’s adorable card features a sweet image from Gnome Matter What. We love how she used Plaid Cover Die Panel B with patterned paper for her background. And look closely, under the plaid is white texture from using the Many Flower Embossing Folder!
And finally, a cheerful floral birthday card from Rosie! She colored flowers from the Seasonal Bouquets stamp set, and added them to the Simple Mug Die. The Loopy Frames Dies added to the cheerfulness of this sweet card!
We loved seeing all of your Birthday cards from the March challenge! We randomly chose a winner from all of the entries – congratulations to Marcia Harlamert! Please send us an email to support@pinkandmain.com to claim your $25 store credit!
Now it’s your turn, we hope you’ll play along! You have until Wednesday, May 7 at 11:59pm ET to add your link to your NEW creation with the “Flowers” theme to be eligible for the prize of a $25 store credit. The winner will be chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!
