April PTI Blog Hop!






Happy Monday!  I have a card to share today.  I am playing along with this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge.


  Here is the inspiration photo.




I decided to play off the warm tones in the inspiration photo.  I love the greenish tan tones of the bottom circles.  I decided to carry that theme around the perimeter of  my card using the bouquet leaves from PTI Friendship Jar Flowers.  I placed the image on my MISTI.  Each section of leaves was stamped first with fine linen, mint julip, and then spring moss.  Once the colors for each section was complete, I moved the card stock frame around until each area was done.  

 




To add some red, pink, yellow, and soft gray tones, as well as keep with the circular look, I used the cluster image in the same set.  I stamped these randomly in hues of sweet blush, lemon tart (some images stamped off for an even softer look), and soft stone stamped off. 
 


Next, I sponged a piece of white card stock using Ranger's Candied Apple ink heavy at the bottom and lighter at the top.  I die cut the Inspired Faith from this sponged panel.  I die cut the word two more times and glued all pieces together.  I used one of the small frame ends in Center Style Feminine die and white embossed the sentiment from Faith Mini stamp set.  I finished my card with some loose white threading a few clear sequins.

As always thanks so much for hopping by!
