Happy July Blog Hop! Every month, Papertrey Ink hosts a blog hop for its customers. This month there is an inspiration photo:
Look at those pretty colors! Normally I don't use so many colors on my cards, but I was working on a set that I thought would work perfectly with this.
Here is my card:
I used PTI Daydreamer for the sentiment. I masked that off, then started stamping flowers around it. I used mostly images from Rosie Posie. THe small flowers (that basically look like dots) are from various other sets, like Botanical Silhouettes. I masked off the flowers, then filled in leaves, mostly from Turning a New Leaf. I used colored pencils and gamsol to give the leaves some dimension.
I made a whole set of these cards using the various sentiments in Daydreamer. They all use different PTI color combinations. I will be sharing more in the next few days. I love the way the whole set turned out!
Very pretty! I love how you split up the stamped images like that!

It's hard to use all five colors from the inspiration photo! Now I see that melon berry and berry sorbet has a bit of a difference when stamped out. Melon berry is super pretty here!
