I always look forward to the PTI Blog Hops & this month the inspiration photo is beautiful. I love the aqua background & lovely pinkish roses along with touches of gold, so that's what I used for my card.
The white panel was die cut with the oval in the Window Works die set--my nod to the shape of the cup opening. I brushed on some Aqua Mist ink & then inserted the white flourish back into the negative space. The sentiment is also PTI & is stamped in Aqua Mist. I backed the window with vellum & attached it over a piece of cardstock inked with the edge of the Aqua Mist cube to give a hint of the texture in the background of the inspiration piece.
The Sweet Life rose & leaves were inked in Delicata Ruby Red & Pink Shimmer, PTI Lemon Tart, Limeade Ice & Green Parakeet. I added a thin gold mat & the card front is covered with Aqua Mist. The rose is brushed with a shimmer pen & is mounted with foam tape. Finished off with glitter Nuvo Drops. Always lots to see, so enjoy the hop & thanks for stopping by. I'm also entering HLS Anything Goes with Dies, SSS Monday & SSS Wednesday.
