It's time for PTI's August Blog Hop, and Nichole
has given us this photo for inspiration this month,
Ink Blending was one suggestion to use, and the colors... soft pastels,
with a touch of navy!
I love to layer, it's one of the joys I get from card making. And I took inspiration
from the layers of color, and the metal on the paintbrushes.
Square frame from Don't Forget to Write.
Had a bunch of die cuts left, so did a second card.
Background was ink sponged with Melon Berry,
then embossing paste applied with the leaf stencil from Garden Gate.
Combination of translucent, metallic gold & metallic silver ep. (Wendy Vecchi)
Circle frame die from Don't Forget to Write
Stamps & Dies: Give Thanks, Paper Clippings: Thankful for You,
Mum's the Word, Inspired: Blessings.
PTI Inks: Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Melon Berry, Americana,
Stormy Sea, & Enchanted Evening.
A few clear sequins and rainstones to finish.
Did I mention, I love to layer?
Can't wait to see the gorgeous creations all lined up this month,
a sea of pinks and oranges, with a hint of navy!
Oh, you've nailed that inspiration photo perfectly! LOVE the mix of colours :)
