Inspired By All The Little Things #21 & Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop

Today, I have two cards to share.

The first one is for Inspired By All the Little Things #21:

I was inspired by the bouquet of flowers on the blue background to make my card.

I really liked how, in the inspiration photo, there were yellow flowers at the top and pink ones at the bottom, so I created my card the same way, using my Wplus9 Freehand Florals stamps and dies.

I did stamp one flower onto my background and then added blue around it using

aqua mist and hawaiian shores pressed onto an acrylic block, water and a paintbrush.

 I stamped my sentiment using a stamp from PTI's Winter Woods. 

Visit Inspired By All the Little Things to see the rest of the DT's takes 

on the inspiration photo and to play along, if you'd like.

You have until Thursday, June 30th to link up your card.

And my second card is for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.

Our challenge was to use this beautiful photo as inspiration:

Isn't it fabulous?

I was inspired to use my Floral Sketches stamp set to create my card.

I started by stamping my flower and the "Have" sentiment (from the Inspired: Faith

stamp set) in versamark onto a piece of watercolour paper

and then heat embossing them in white.

I inked up the coordinating solid images in different colours

and spritzed them with water before stamping them.

With a paintbrush, ink pressed onto my acrylic block and water, I added

the blue for the background.

I also flicked some of the watered-down ink onto my card.

I diecut the Faith die twice from white cardstock, stacked them

together and adhered them to my card.

Thanks for looking!
