Papertrey Ink June 2016 Blog Hop

I'm participating in the Papertrey Ink June 2016 Blog Hop today. As always, Nichole Heady has given us a terrific inspiration photo to get started.

I was immediately drawn to the colors and translucent layers and attempted to echo them on my card. My first try at making a card involved stamping and heat embossing Peonies on Parade images on a piece of heavy vellum and then coloring them with Copic markers.




I wasn't thrilled with my final panel, so started over stamping and heat embossing a few more images on a lighter weight vellum.  This time I die cut everything before coloring.




The card didn't come together until I layered the die cut pieces onto the original stamped panel. The vellum panel was adhered to a white frame first to allow the layers to overlap the frame.




A Wet Paint die cut and One Big Happy stamp combine for the sentiment.

I am also linking this card to Seize the Birthday where the current challenge is Anything Goes.




I heading over to check out the wonderful PTI Blog Hop gallery. Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
