PTI May 2016 Blog Hop!

  


Happy Wednesday!  I am popping in with a card to share for this month's Papertrey Ink May Blog Hop!  







 


I chose to use a watercolor background with some splatters along with pops of colors using these fun sketch florals.  I used stormy sky for the contrast stamping on the flowers.   I also loved that the inspiration picture sported a dual font sentiment, so these sentiments from the set worked perfectly.  





Instead of stamping in a soft gray, I opted to heat emboss on gold using some Heat Resistant Acetate that I die cut with a stitched pennant die.  I think the acetate showcases the sentiment as well as the watercolor background beautifully. I just had to add some wink of stella to the centers of the flowers for some extra shimmer!

As always thanks so much for hopping by!
