Patriotic Wreath

 

I am playing along with two challenges. The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and my inspiration was from the patriotic colors and wreath for The Card Concept challenge. This is a clean and layered style which is my go to comfort zone. I started with patterned paper for the background. My "grapevine wreath" is actually a bird's nest die set from PTI's Into the Blooms: Spring Nest set. I cut it from kraft paper then blended some Dark Chocolate ink along the edges and added splatters.    

The florals were all cut from white paper then color blended with a variety of dye inks. The sentiment was popped up with foam tape. STAMPS: Perfect Pairs Essentials (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Pure Poppy, Bright Buttercup, Blueberry Sky, Enchanted Evening, Dark Indigo, Limeade Ice, Simply Chartreuse (PTI).

PAPER: Stars & Stripes 6x6 pad (My Favorite Things); Stamper's Select White, Classic Kraft (PTI).

DIES: Into the Blooms: Wreath and Into the Blooms: Spring Nest (PTI); Sentiment Suite Basics (The Greetery).
