Haven't been a blogger very long, so this is my first chance to participate in a PTI Blog Hop "here" . I was so inspired by the MIM video this week using COPIC markers to make graduated backgrounds, that I made another one inspired by the challenge photo. I don't use a lot of yellow, but the photo certainly made me think Spring & I really liked the yellow/aqua color combo. The COPICS I used are Y02 & B02. I white embossed the leaf circles from PTI Tag-Its #3. The sentiment from the same set is white embossed on vellum die cut with Spellbinders oval & the words are then colored with the same 2 markers. This is another technique I learned in a MIM video. The oval is attached to a vellum tag die cut with Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio 2. The reverse corner punch is by Fiskars & the yellow glitter dots are Mark Richards.
Enjoy the hop!
Beautiful combination of both challenges!!
