PTI June 2018 Blog Hop

6/25/18

My focus on the June 2018 Blog Hop Inspiration photo is on those yummy looking rainbow flavored popsicles!! I made mine from smudging some Distress Oxide Ink in the various rainbow colors followed with blending with my water brush on some water color paper. I used the die from the Colorful Treats set to get the right shape. The die is actually an ice cream bar with sprinkles, ergo the bumpy top but  we can just pretend the popsicles are melting. I also wanted to try Betsy's technique of using mica pigments for a shimmery BG. This is

fun (tho a bit messy) yielding gorgeous results (the shimmer does not show in the photo). Enjoy the Blog Hop!
Supplies:  PTI Sun & Surf Stencil Collection, Colorful Treats Die, Noted: Scalloped A2 Vertical Die, Sentiment Staples: Welcome, Distress Oxide Ink (squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade, candied apple, twisted citron, salty ocean, dusty concord), Die-namics Stitched Rectangle STAX 2, mica pigment/Essential Glue Pad, Zing EP (Powder), water droplets.

    What a fun and summery card! I tried to color blend and didn't like my results and simply stamped my images.
