It's time for another PTI Blog Hop. It's one of my favorite challenges. I have tons of PTI products and I love the chance to pull them out and get creative. This month's inspiration photo is beautiful! The range of colors were so rich and vibrant. I pulled out 9 colors to create my project.
Starting from the bottom, the colors I used are Cranberry Crush, Gala Red, Sweet Gelato, Little Piggy, Pumpkin Spice, Wild Mango, Hayride, Coconut Husk, and Warm Wool! I sponged each color onto a scallop stencil using sponge daubers. Once all of my sponging was done I stamped 'wish big', from Stylish Sentiments Birthday, repeatedly in black ink. I also stamped a secondary sentiment on a black banner and embossed it in white.
I love how it turned out!
I can't wait to see what you have made!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with my final post for Paper Smooches' August Release!
Cardstock: PTI White, WP9 Black
Stamps: PTI SS Birthday
Ink: WP9 PURE Color Dye Ink, Versamark
Dies: PTI DE Banner Die, SS Stitched Rectangles
Other: White Embossing Powder, HS Scallop Stencil
