Ink to Paper Project Reach Out

I'm so glad ITP is doing the Project Reach Out challenges to inspire us to create & spread some joy.  It's a lot more fun than leaving a bunch of comments to be in the running for a gift certificate--at least for me!
Wreaths of all kinds are some of my favorite images, so decided to use PTI Twig Wreath & ITP Bold Blooms for a little different look.  This card is for Project Reach Out: Sending Love.
I used a scrap of PTI Classic Kraft & PTI inks Classic Kraft, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist, Lovely Lady, Autumn Rose, Scarlet Jewel, Winter Wisteria & Vintage Cream.  I used the Rock & Roll inking method for the leaves & big blooms.  At first I thought it might end up in the trash, but I just kept going.  I added splatters of Distress Stain Antiqued Bronze & brown Zig.
The sentiment from PTI Take 3 Summer was stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn.  Then the PTI love die was cut from the panel & attached to 2 more die cuts before being glued into place.  I used Vintage Cream cardstock for the mat & added a few dots of Stickles Rose Gold for a bit of sparkle.  Gotta say--I love how how this turned out!  I'm also entering The Snippets Playground.

For Project Reach Out: Gratitude, I began by masking the bottom of a white panel & blending the exposed area with DO faded jeans & cracked pistachio.  I also added splatters of each color, but they are pretty subtle.  Then I stamped foliage images from ITP Bold Blooms & Twig Wreath in Versafine Clair Morning Mist--a dark gray.
The sentiment from Bold Blooms was also stamped in Morning Mist & I used a white gel pen for the little dots.  I really like the muted, chalky look contrasted with the white strip.  I'm also entering Addicted to CAS.

  4. Two beautiful cards Greta! I love a wreath too and thank goodness you didn't put this one in the trash! I love the muted colours and the rock and rolling! Your silhouette card is lovely and calm with those colours and I too like the contrast with that crisp white strip at the bottom. Take care, Vicky x
