Papertrey Ink Blog Hop-Inspired by Spring

It’s time for another Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme was to use PTI products to create a spring inspired project based on the sights, colors, and images that are reminiscent of spring. I pulled out some of my new PTI goodies to create this simple spring feeling card.

I started by randomly stamping the smaller flower image from the new Friends ‘Til the End stamp set in white pigment ink on a Spring Rain panel. I covered the stamped images with white embossing powder and heat embossed them. The raised white images look so clean and crisp against the blue background. I layered this panel on a slightly larger Ripe Avocado panel, then set it aside.

I attached a piece of dotted Spring Moss patterned paper to the bottom of a white card base (this is the only one of PTI’s exclusive colors that I have yet to purchase—I may have to add it to my collection). I tied a piece of Spring Rain twill ribbon around the cardfront, then threaded a white button through the ends of the ribbon before knotting it again. I am loving these buttons!

I attached the stamped image panel, closer to the left side of the card than the right to accommodate the button and knotted ribbon. That left me just a tiny bit room for the sentiment. I stamped it along the edges of the stamped image panel in Ripe Avocado ink, kind of framing the image.

Materials Used:
Friends ‘Til the End stamp set, Ripe Avocado Palette ink, Spring Rain, Ripe Avocado, and white cardstock, Spring Rain twill, Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper, white button (Papertrey Ink); White Craft ink, Whisper White embossing powder (Stampin’ Up!)
