Good Saturday Morning!
It's Blog Hop time at PTI,
and Nichole has challenged us big time with this dreamy art piece
Inspiration? Yes! But it took me everywhere.
Finally narrowed it down to Garden Medley.
I know, vegetables?
Well just roll with me...
1st card, using the vegetables, and more PTI inks for each stamping
than you care to know. Spritzed each stamp, before stamping.
(Believe me, there's a pile on my work table, not fit to show!)
Bird and branch from Spring Woods.
I had so many vegetables
left over, decided to do a 2nd card.
This time, letting the bg paper dictate colors.
This time, used the word stamp, 'artichoke' included in the set, curving it
the way Melissa Phillips did when the set was released.
Cover Plate: Delightful
Thank you for visiting, and enjoy the hop!
Always so much to see and ideas to case!!!
Before you hop on, a quick look at the Penirs' tomatoes.
This year, I've got quite a crop! Must be the hot weather.
Must remember to be thankful for the heat!
Beautiful take on the photo inspiration, Nancy. I love your Bokeh background and the darker images up front. As far as your tomatoes YUM- Ii love fresh tomatoes and definitely something to be thankful for. Have a blessed weekend my friend
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fantastic, Nancy! However, the second one is so striking! Love how you layered the background! Fabulously done!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Nancy! I live in Wisconsin and we are already eating our green peppers. Our tomatoes are the size of golf balls.
ReplyDeleteLove both your cards!! I sure CAN see all the inks used in the veggies, which give them such depth and realism. Gorgeous! I think my favourite is the artichoke card, as I'm especially drawn to the colour combo used.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, I especially am drawn to the second one and it's colors.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards and the frames are perfect.
ReplyDeletefabulous set of cards!! love the striking color combo on the second one!!
ReplyDeleteNancy I love where the inspiration took you and quite frankly I see how you were inspired! Two cool and gorgeous cards and the spritzing made such a dramatic effect. Lucky you with the tomatoes, I have never had a lot of luck with tomatoes, I am sure it's the climate.
ReplyDeleteWOW...love how the inspiration took you to vegetables Nancy! Your 1st card is fabulous and I love ALL the different colors you incorporated!!
