Hello! This month I am a Guest Designer for the Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge #34 for August! I am honored to be playing along with them this month!
Here is the inspiration photo and color combo that I worked with. It was such a pretty one!
For my card, I used the Pretty Posies stamp set & the Pretty Posies die set for this card. I really like the shapes of the flowers in this set. They are so whimsical and fun! To color them, I first stamped & embossed the outlines in white. Then, I put each die cut directly down on my pigment ink pad and covered them fairly well with ink. When I took them off, I used an aqua pen to move the wet ink around. The ink becomes a lot like watercolor paint. I added other colors to my flowers by dipping the aqua brush directly onto the ink pad and then coloring on to my flowers.
After I finished coloring them, I assembled them into a wreath shape, popping some up with dimensionals and then adding in a few clear sequins and some pink twine. The sentiment is a free one from the Paper Sweeties blog that you can download here.
I hope you have a chance to play along this month with the Paper Sweeties #34 Challenge! Thank you so much for stopping by today!
