Today, I'm participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.
Our challenge was to use this beautiful photo as inspiration:
Isn't it beautiful?
Here's the card that it inspired...
I started by stamping my sentiment from Phrases and Praises in
PTI Ocean Tides ink on stamper's select white cardstock, to match the colours of the pumpkins.
I made a border for my card with soft stone cardstock, stamped with the woodgrain stamp
from Concord & 9th.
I wet some watercolour paper and coloured over it with two Zig Markers
and then went over the colouring with water.
Once it was dry, I splattered ink mixed with water over top.
Once that was dry, I diecut some Fancy Foliage Detail dies from it.
A trio of pure poppy buttons and some button twine finishes it off.
Thanks for looking!
Beautiful card, Leigh. A lovely take on the inspiration! :-)
