Welcome to Day 1 of the Papertrey Ink July Release Countdown!

Papertrey Ink Day 1 Countdown!

Everything will be available for purchase beginning at 10 PM ET, Thursday the 21st!

I have four cards to share today!

The first card uses 

Into the Blooms: Orchid Dies

Love to Layer: Oval Dies

Weathered Tile Stencils 

Eucalyptus Elegance stamp set

 

For my first card, I stenciled the Weathered Tile Stencils using only one of the stencils with Harvest Gold ink.  I layered the new Love to Layer: Oval Dies.  

I die cut the elements to the new Into the Blooms: Orchid Dies. I colored the elements using Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the new Eucalyptus Elegance stamp set.  I finished with a few clear sequins.

TIPS
-Use a Copic Marker to create orchid variations with the dotting technique.
-Use only one of the stencils from Weathered Tile Stencils to get a different look.

My 2nd card uses

Into the Blooms: Orchid Dies

Mini Picket Fence Die
Dotted Hexagon Stencils

Just Sentiment: You're On My Mind stamp set

I stenciled using only one of the Dotted Hexagon Stencils.  I only did a portion of the stencil.  I used kraft card stock and die cut the new Mini Picket Fence Die to create the table.  I ink blended the edges with Cocoa Bean ink for added definition.

I die cut the elements to the new Into the Blooms: Orchid Dies. I colored the elements using Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the new Just Sentiment: You're On My Mind stamp set.  I used a white gel pen to add some highlights.  I chose not to add any embellishments.

TIPS
- Layer portions of the Mini Picket Fence Die to create a table top to ground your potted Orchid flowers.
-Use only a portion of a stencil on a diagonal to create soft background texture.

My 3rd cards uses

Into the Blooms: Orchid Dies

Sprigs and Sprays: Fall Stamps

Just Sentiment: You're On My Mind

 

I started by stamping a few leaves onto white card stock using Lovely Lady and Spring Moss inks to create a subtle background.  I softly ink blended more of the Lovely Lady ink. 

I ink blended a white card stock panel using hibiscus burst and raspberry fizz inks.  I die cut the floral elements to the new Into the Blooms: Orchid Dies. I used Fresh Snow ink to add some soft highlights to the petals.  I colored the stems and flower centers with Copic markers. For the sentiment,  I used the new Just Sentiment: You're On My Mind I finished with a few clear sequins.

TIPS
- Add Fresh Snow White Pigment ink to the tips of your flowers to create some highlights and depth
-Use pastel inks to create a soft leafy background frame to ground your flowers.
