5/25/17 ** Rolling right along here with PTI's May Blog Hop and another watercolor inspiration photo. I decidedto make 2 cards for the challenge. For my 1st card, I selected Gran's Garden (becoming one of my favorites) as my floral. I misted my inked images before stamping onto watercolor paper to achieve a "watercolor-look". My background is a TCW stencil sponged with the leaf colors in the inspiration photo. The resulting card came out a bit busy, but then so is the photo.
The second card has a watercolor background. I sponged the ivy with 3 PTI colors and colored the blooms in the same manner as in my 1st card. I added speckles by using a toothbrush. This card was much simpler to create and I was eager to try the Ivy and Bloom set that I just received via snail mail.
TFL and enjoy the May Blog Hop! :)
Supplies for card 2: PTI Ivy & Bloom, ways to say thank you, PTI dye inks: Aqua Mist, Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky, Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, Scarlet Jewel, Plum Pudding.
Pure delight! Love the 1st one with the soft bg, and gorgeous blooms!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are so pretty Susan, but I especially LOVE the 1st card with Gran's Garden! That has definitely become my favorite flower set and I just love the colors from the inspiration photo with that set! The stenciled background looks fabulous with it too! Lovely, lovely cards!! :0)
