PTI February Release Day #1

 

It's time for reveals of the February release at Papertrey Ink! You will love all the spring goodness! Today we are introducing you to Vase Collection 15 stamps and dies + Love to Layer: Beautiful Brackets dies + Psalm Reflections: February stamps and dies + Ornate Swirls Hot Foil Plate. 

I wanted to create the look of a tin bucket, so went with the new distress color - Lost Shadow - along with Hickory Smoke. The new bracket die is really so pretty with the pierced and open design along the edges!

The base was smooshed with Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo distress inks then stenciled with Lost Shadow using the A Little Sketchy stencil.

DIES: Love to Layer: Beautiful Bracket, Vase Collection 15.
OTHER: A Little Sketchy stencil; Banner flag die; Twine.

I created two cards using the new Psalm Reflections: February die. It fits perfectly with the coordinating die! 

There is a gorgeous new hot foil plate and I went with a matte white foil for the background.

TIPS
1. Pop up the focal point sentiment with foam tape to add dimension. 
2. Cut all the flowers and leaves from Bristol Smooth Surface paper then color blend with distress inks.
3. Add white splatters (I used Gouache paint) for another element of interest and dimension.

Take your flowers up a notch and add Crystal Stickles lightly for some added pizzazz!
