Papertrey Ink October 2017 Blog Hop
In all honesty, my first look at the PTI Blog Hop inspiration left me thinking Oh No! Thankfully, I took a closer look & the middle row, second from the right, reminded me of an idea I had some time ago. I stamped the trees from PTI Through the Trees on watercolor paper in Versafine Vintage Sepia & Smokey Gray using my stamp positioner. I inked multiple times until I had the shade I wanted. The beautiful PTI Mix & Mat Flourishes dies were just what I needed.
The color was done with a wet brush & these PTI inks: Harvest Gold mixed with Summer Sunrise, Enchanted Evening & Amethyst Allure. I covered the card front with a panel of brown cardstock embossed with the Canvas/Linen Impression Plate. Vintage Photo DI was used for the splatters & I mounted the panel with fun foam. The inside will have a Thanksgiving greeting. In the end I came up with a card I love, so learned there's always something to be inspired by if you look hard enough. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
