The PTI release week challenge is to case one of the designers' cards. It's hard to narrow down the choices so I made 2 cards & will enter one. I loved all the cards using the new Brushed Off stamps which made me want to pull out Watercolor Wonder. I used these cards by Maile & Amy for inspiration. 
My PTI inks are Spring Moss, Melon Berry & Summer Sunrise. Then I overstamped several times with Delicata Golden Glitz. I decided to keep it a little simpler, so didn't add any leaves. The PTI word die is from Counting My Blessings & the sentiment is done with brown stickers.
I also love wreaths, so the new Twig Wreath is likely to get added to my collection. I need a sympathy card & thought a simple wreath might make a nice one. This card by Heather provided my inspiration, along with Kelly's technique using a branch stamp.
I used PTI Lovely Leaves with Hero Arts Cup O' Joe & PTI Classic Kraft. My flower dies were all too big, so I used these sweet little flowers--gifts from a couple friends--& added some blue gems. The stripes on the blue scrap were made with Watermark ink & an image from PTI Watercolor Wonder. Texture on the card front is from PTI Linen & Canvas Impression Plate which I sponged lightly with Kraft ink. The sentiment from PTI Through the Trees was trimmed into a flag, matted & attached with foam tape.
I'm also entering the Make Your Mark challenge at Addicted to Stamps. I'm so glad you came by--your visits make my day!
