PTI November Release Day 2

 

Welcome back to day two of reveals for Papertrey Ink's November release! Today, we are introducing you to Into the Blooms: Cactus dies + Cover Plate: Stitched Florals die + Inside Greetings: Winter Wonderland stamps + Iconic Christmas stamps and dies + Deliver by Dec. 25th stamps and dies + Ho, Ho, Ho Stencils.

Don't let all the gazillion small pieces scare you with these flowers! I cut ALL the leaves and flowers from Bristol Smooth Surface then used blending brushes to color everything. The diagram that comes with the photo on the website has everything organized into groups which is helpful.

I smooshed Pumice Stone and Black Soot distress inks onto the flower pot then splattered with Black Soot (wanting to go with a distressed look to the finish).

STAMPS: Inside Greetings: Winter Wonderland
INK: Pumice Stone, Black Soot distress inks; Pale Peony, Raspberry Fizz, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise; Ocean Breeze, Grassy Knoll, Olive

<-- Inside of card

TIPS:
1. Add texture to your card with pastes and stencils.
2. Layer your sentiment dies with at least 3 layers to give it dimension and  sturdiness.
3. Use blending brushes to add the color to the leaves and flowers.

This time I smooshed distress inks in a couple of coral shades and three different green shades on Bristol paper. I then die cut the pieces with emphasis on darker shades for the outline portions of the petals.

TIPS:
1. Use stencils in tone on tone ink and paper for a subtle pattern.
2. Cut a doily die in half to add a delicate detail to the design.
3. Smoosh a variety of distress inks onto a sheet of water color paper then cut out the flowers, leaves and vase. It will give you a variety of color shades with little effort. 

This stitched cover plate will be one I grab to use over and over! 

The next two stamp sets I combined to create 5 tags. I never seem to have enough gift tags and generally am scrambling at the last minute to create some!
