One of my newest W&W products is the Ticking Stripe stencil. I've been wanting to use it for a plaid, so blended Altenew Frosty Pink & Dew Drops to get as close as I could to the W&W June/July Color Combo challenge. It's really beautiful in person, but I have a hard time photographing soft colors.
The die cut/stamped flower is W&W In Bloom: Eva's Favorite Flowers & the dark gray sentiment is from The Big, The Bold & The Happy. I made a dark gray frame with PTI Pierced Feature Frames & the mat is a lighter gray. I popped up the top bloom & added Wedding Dress Pico Embellisher drops. The card is already in the mail & hopefully will be a happy surprise for the recipient. I'm also entering Virginia's Show & Share.
I'm getting in at the last minute for ITP LFF Paper Scraps. I save every tiny piece of my PTI cardstock & printed papers. All the papers I used are from that stash.
So fun to use some of my newest stamps & dies: PTI Simple Stems & Vogue Vases. The cardstocks are Soft Stone, Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, Autumn Rose & Scarlet Jewel. The inks are Enchanted Evening & Scarlet Jewel. I popped up the frame with fun foam. I'm also entering Die Cut Divas & The Snippets Playground.
