PTI June Blog Hop - Peony Hello

Today is the day of Papertrey Inks Monthly Blog Hop challenge. This month Nichole provided us with a pretty inspiration piece of art from Yellena James. What first struck me in this piece was the largest pink transparent element.




Even though this card isn't remotely like anything I started out with I do like how it turned out. I heat embossed the largest flower from Peonies on Parade with white on vellum and lightly painted it with Picked Raspberry and Antique Linen distress inks from Ranger. I die cut the flower and layered it over a second vellum die cut. I inked up the single leaf image from Meadow Greens with Broken China and Peeled Paint distress inks and spritzed with water before stamping on white CS and fussy cut them out. The two frames were die cut from a couple of failed attempts at sponged backgrounds using Broken China, Cracked Pistachio and Peeled Paint inks and I added some more lightness with the Branching Out vellum die cut.

Supplies:
Stamps - Peonies on Parade, Meadow Greens, What the Doodle Feather (PTI)
Dies - Peonies on Parade, Branching Out, Keep It Simple Frames (PTI)
Paper - Stampers Select White CS, white vellum
Ink - Broken China, Antique Linen, Peeled Paint, Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio, Versafine Onyx Black, Versa Mark, White EP, black Copic
