It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and we've got some amazing new press plate product suites for you! Because our press plates are dual purpose products that can be used for both BetterPress and hot foiling, you will start seeing these in our product suites when possible.
Today I'm sharing the card I made live during our combined sneak peek last week! It features the innovative new Plaid press plates, which allow you to make dual toned backgrounds just by flipping the plate. It's super easy to use and the possibilities are endless! I've paired it with our new Delighted for You product suite, which is a gorgeous cluster of lilies!
Thank You for just Being You card
Card size: A2 - 4.25 x 5.5 (inches) - click on the images above to see them larger.
