Hey Everyone! Happy Friday! I just got home from work and have been furiously trying to photograph my cards and create quick color swatches in time for my submissions for this month's PaperTrey Ink blog hop. I don't really have a favorite color combination, so instead I tried to come up with combinations I'd never used before. It really was a challenge for me!
My first card incorporates dark chocolate, pure poppy, lemon tart, spring moss, and aqua mist.
I hadn't received the new teapot die in the mail yet, so this teapot image was cut out by hand. Can't wait to try the die. It will save me lots of time! I used the strawberry cluster image from the Vintage Picnic set to tie in my tea pot with the strawberries on the patterned paper. I also cut a couple of Dark Chocolate cardstock rick rack strips with the PTI die to coordinate with the patterned paper. The little polka dot tea cup image is from the 2nd year anniversary set, Everyday Classics. I accented the little heart on the tea bag label with a heart rhinestone sticker. The patterned paper is from October Afternoon's "Fly A Kite" collection.
My second card incorporates Ripe Avocado, Summer Sunrise, Raspberry Fizz, Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet, and Lavender Moon. I think this card is my favorite of the two. I just love the "Life" stamp set, and this color combo seems like the very essence of summer!
Thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of the hop, and have a great weekend!
