Papertrey Ink February Blog Hop

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!
