Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop!




Happy Monday!  I am popping in with a card to share.  




For my card, I focused on one of the frozen popsicle treats.  I started with some Strathmore watercolor paper.  I ink blended Ranger Distress Oxide Inks wilted violet, blueprint sketch, broken china, peeled paint, squeezed lemonade,  and candid apple inks.  I spritzed it a couple of times with water and blotted.


Once the panel was dried, I die cut the frame from the Mix and Mat:  Hearts die and the inside with the Mix and Mat: Scallops die. I popped up this panel with some foam tape and added it to a piece of the Lovely Lace Pattern Paper Collection.  All of this was added to a PTI select white card stock base using Tombow Aqua Glue.


For the sentiment, I ink blended another watercolor panel using the same distressed oxide inks and die cut the words from Make It Market Mini Kit:  Sunshine and Rainbows. I layered three die cut words together for added dimension.  


The word "sending" also comes from the same kit.  I stamped the word onto true black card stock with versamark and white embossed.  I used Wine Bottle Tag #2 die to cut the small fishtail.  (I cut it twice to get the smaller size and the fishtail on both ends).  I added some wink of stella to the popped up words for added sparkle and shine.  I finished my card with a few clear sequins.

As always thanks so much for hopping by!
