I haven’t completed a challenge in a few months. I created today’s card for the Papertrey Ink August 2016 Blog Hop Challenge.
Here is the inspiration:
As usual, I struggled with supplies for this challenge. I haven’t bought any new stamps from Papertrey Ink in a while, so you have definitely seen me use this set for a challenge before.
I stamped the flowers in navy, then masked and stamped the stems in navy. When dry, I used an aquabrush to “paint” the flowers. I wasn’t sure how well the Vintage Cream cardstock would hold up to water, so I was very careful to keep my brush wiped off fairly well.
Supplies: Stamps – Papertrey Ink, paper – Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream, Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride, Night of Navy, inks – Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride, Night of Navy, VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Lawn Fawn, sequins – Doodlebug Designs, embossing powder – Ranger Silver Pearl, twine – MarkerPOP.

Love the background you stamped for this pretty design – wonderful watercoloring of the blooms! I’m sure it doesn’t matter that you used older PTI stamps – as long as some PTI are used! ( I used retired stamps on my card today!) This is lovely!

Yes. 🙂

What a pretty card! The black just sets that sentiment apart from the lovely background. So well coordinated 🙂
