It's release day at Pinkfresh Studio, and the "Gentle Greetings & Greenery" release offers six new product suites! đ From fresh herbs to whimsical flowers and sentiments you will reach for time & time again...there is something for every crafter within this release.
Today, I'm sharing a soft and comforting sympathy card featuring the beautiful new Cheerful Blossoms product suite, paired with the intricate Interlaced Diamonds die. This combination creates a delicate and elegant look. The foiled sentiment, which adds a touch of sophistication, is from the Thinking of You set. The soft colors and gentle design elements are perfect for conveying heartfelt sympathy and support during difficult times.
