Next, I have a card to share for today's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.
Our challenge was to use this beautiful photo as inspiration:
Isn't it lovely and elegant?
I have to admit, I found this piece a little challenging.
I had one initial idea, but it didn't pan out.
I started a second card and disliked it.
Late last night, I finally came up with something with which I was pleased...
Here's my card:
I struggled with creating such a dark background, so I settled for blending
PTI Stormy Sea onto my Stamper's Select White panel
and onto a piece of patterned paper with text on it.
I stamped my Brushed Blooms stamps onto their coordinating diecut
in the colours from the photo -- PTI Spring Moss, Raspberry Fizz and Canyon Clay
and Altenew Mango Smoothie and Deep Iris.
I stamped my sentiment (from Spring Woods) in Altenew Jet Black ink.
Thanks for looking!
