Hello!! Stopping in with a card for today's
PTI blog hop. The inspiration photo is beautiful but I must admit that I really struggled with this one. Tried several ideas last night, but came up with nothing. After looking through the cards that have been posted I was finally able to come up with my card. It is interesting to me how differently everyone sees the colors in the inspiration piece. Me... I see blues and gray/greens in the leaves, as well as peach and a ruby red. After trying a few different sets I finally went with PTI's Friendly Flowers. I used PTI's Ocean Tides and MFT Cornflower for the leaves and Hero Arts Soft Cantaloupe for the large flower and a Hero Arts red for the small flowers. After stamping everything with my MISTI I added in the little dots with a small acrylic block and a little stamp that came with the set. The sentiment was stamped in black and then I added dots of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Morning Dew. The panel was adhered to an Ocean Tides cardstock base. Super simple and now I have another birthday card to add to my stash!!
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white and Ocean Tides; Stamps: PTI; Dies: A Jillian Vance Design; Inks: PTI, Hero Arts and VersaFine; Nuvo Crystal Drops

Hi Rosemary! This is so pretty and I love the stamp choice!
ReplyDeleteYour card is simple but so pretty!! Love the way you laid the flowers diagonally across the white front. Nicely done..
ReplyDeletePretty card. You captured the inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness--this is wonderful, Rosemary! Never crossed my mind to use Friendly Flowers & I actually bought that set because of a card you made long ago! Pinning this so maybe I'll use it more--never have used the little dots & they're a wonderful element here!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I haven't used this stamp set in awhile, but you're making me thin I should. Your two-toned leaves are especially wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely! I struggled with this challenge too since the inspiration photo didn't do a thing for me. lol
