Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop

Inspired By ... That's the theme for the next few months on the PTI blog hop.  Nichole posted a photo to be inspired by and we can make anything imaginable based on our inspiration.


I saw the paint stripes right away in the picture ... how they blend and smear together.  I wanted to recreate that effect.  Plus I've been dying to use my Gracious Vases set and I thought this might just be the right time for that too


I first stamped the center vase, them masked it and stamped the 2 side vases (outline) and the flowers.  Then I stamped the solid centers using versamark and embossed with Clear EP.  I also used a versamarker on the flowers and embossed those as well.  To make sure I stamped the vases in a straight line I added a pencil line where I wanted them, then decided to go over it with a black marker and let it be a part of the card.



After all the masking and embossing I used re-inkers on baby wipes (Sweet Blush, Melon Berry and Berry Sorbet)  I didn't do regular stripeslike the standard Baby Wipe technique tutorials I've seen, just swiped it over areas until I got the look I was going for. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of the hop.
