Papertrey Ink June 2012 Blog Hop Challenge

This month's inspiration is a fun take on florals, ruffles & pleats.  

You could include New Leaf ink stamped onto Aqua Mist card stock 

with some pops of Harvest Gold or Lemon Tart die-cuts! 

Have fun with your favourite ribbons to make pleats or ruffles!

 

I had originally planned on using my new Lovely Layers stamp and die set to create a focal point for this card, but after I finished the background stamping and colouring the added detail it looked to be too much!! So I decided to set aside the layered embellishment for another day and go with this clean and simple card!!

I used lots of inspiration from this photo .... a circular image, yellow pleated ribbon and the colours of green, aqua and yellow. 

Various images from Stitches and Swirls were stamped with Clover Meadow (Close To My Heart) and then coloured with copic markers. The small yellow dots were stamped with Lemon Tart using a dot from Beautiful Blooms II. 

The sentiment and ribbon are positioned over a little stamping blooper!!

* The circle was stamped with an old set from Art Warehouse in Hawaiian Shores and then the sentiment (Trendy Tree Tops) was added with green ink. 

* Three 'sparkles' (aqua and light green) were added above the sentiment.

* Two 'loops' of Lemon Tart Satin ribbon were attached to the card front and then the round sentiment panel was mounted with foam dimensionals.
