Papertrey Ink: Make It Monday #72

Hope everyone is enjoying a sunny and relaxing week-end. 
It's July 1st - Canada Day here and we're celebrating with family ... a bar-b-que on the deck and viewing the city fireworks later this evening. 

I just wanted to pop in with a quick entry for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #72. You can view the video here. Dawn McVey challenged us to 'Step-it-Up" by creating embellishments that use something "extra". Since I got the Lovely Layers stamp and die set last week-end, I couldn't resist giving it a test run.

I used the photo from the PTI June Blog Hop as the colour inspiration for my card:  inks, papers and pearls in a combination of Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise and Aqua Mist and a little bit of Hawaiian Shores. 

* Dimension was added by using the Vineyards Impression Plate (on the Harvest Gold Nestabilities layer) and a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder on the Aqua Mist layer and the two Rick Rack Border die cuts across the bottom of the card. I used Versamark on both the IP and the embossing folder before running the card stock through the Cuttlebug. This darkened the colour of the paper a little, but it also highlights the embossed images.

* Machine stitching around the patterned paper and Harvest mat die.

All of the lovely layers!!

* Harvest Gold card base

* Grid patterned paper (My Mind's Eye)

* Aqua Mist and Harvest Gold Card stock

     - die cut with Nestabilities Label #1

* 2 sets of leaf  dies (Lovely Layers)

     - stamped with Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores

* 2 sets of  die cuts from Lemon Tart card stock 

     - stamped with Summer Sunrise

* Large flower

     - stamped with Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores

 

* Flower center

     - stamped with Aqua Mist and Lemon Tart

* Pearl - Coloured with copic markers (Aqua Mist)

 A sentiment from  Say It In Style  (Close To My Heart) was stamped with Aqua Mist ink and yellow and aqua pearls were added on either side.

I'm not sure what I will use this card for, so I kept the front sentiment very simple and will add appropriate details to the inside when I'm ready to use it!

The inside of the card was finished with the dies and stamps from Back Pocket Basics - using Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise, Harvest Gold and Canyon Clay inks.
