Tonight I'm joining in the PaperTrey Ink Blog Hop to make a card inspired by this photograph.
I always like this challenge because it has a very short time window (especially when you work all day) and because my PaperTrey Ink Stamp Stash is relatively limited, so it forces me to be creative with what I have.
No flower stamps or dies … so I looked for images that could replicate the feel & color of the piece. I like the pale green stenciled background on the embroidery hoop fabric, so I die cut the Hexagon Cover Plate from watercolor paper (for a more fabric-like texture) and layered it on top of light green cardstock.
Next I stamped the butterflies from Melissa Bickford's Heart-2-Heart #10 in two shades of pink on the same watercolor paper because they included hearts, another inspiration element from the photograph.
And with hearts comes love … in this case Betsy Veldman's Inspired: Love Mini Stamp Set.
I die cut my stamped images in an oval (which worked better than a circle given the layout) and then cut a second oval from wood-like paper to frame it. I finished with a ribbon bow like the one on top of the Embroidery Hoop in the photo.
So pretty. Love those sweet little butterflies. Cheers.
This is so pretty. I LOVE your interpretation of the photo!!
