Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop Challenge...Plus
It's PTI Blog Hop day--yah! The inspiration is bright, fun & summery. I was immediately drawn to the rainbow popsicles--especially the ones with a dark purple section.
They made me think of a background panel, so I pulled out PTI inks Plum Pudding, Royal Velvet, Blueberry Sky, New Leaf, Bright Buttercup & Orange Zest along with Memento Love Letter. Since popsicles are icy, I splattered the blended panel with drops of Perfect Pearls. Wonderful Words: Hello was die cut 3 times & the top layer was heavily brushed with WOS & covered with Nuvo Glaze.
All the shimmer & shine is so pretty in real life. I'm also entering CAS-ual Fridays & SSS Wednesday.
The Plus in my post title is because I'm also sharing my entry for the WCMC9 Sparkle & Shine challenge.
I saw the square die cut on my table, so started with that. My friends are so sweet to send me lots of die cuts, including C&9 Floral & Flutter. I attached 2 together & then covered a 3rd one with gold WOS. That didn't provide enough sparkle since it's a delicate image. I pressed on VersaMark & used a gold glitter embossing powder which gave plenty of beautiful sparkle.
The top butterfly is attached to the white ones only in the center & the wings are gently lifted up. I kept it simple with stickers for a sentiment, a black mat & a single gold sequin. I'm also entering AAA Cards, Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge & HLS AGWD. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
Love the inked panel for the PTI Hop card and have to say it was a bonus treat to see the gold layered butterfly on your other card!
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow effect on the first card is lovely Greta, especially with the little splattering and the Butterfly on the second so very delicate.
