Hello! I am happy to be playing along with this months
Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! I was intrigued by the inspiration picture as soon as I saw it, and I knew I wanted to play along! Check it out:
Here is my card!
I know there is a lot going on, but the look I was going for was vintage embroidery, which I LOVE. I started out by using "Stitches And Swirls" embossed in white. Next I gathered up several of my Fresh, and A Muse Studio pigment ink pads, 3 of each shade actually. Using a blender pen, and ink pad I began to color my flowers and leaves. This process took several coats of ink. I found it best to wait for the layer to dry a bit before adding the next shade. But, finally I felt I added enough color, and I added a black thread stitched border around my card. I added a sentiment from "Purls of Wisdom" that I double stamped on a Photo Finishers label. I hope you like it! I am entering this in the

Aren't you pleased you stuck with it until the inks began to look good? I'll need to add this technique (Did you make it up?) to several other ones that are new to me today. I love your choice of colors and the wonderful composition; it really looks like a great fabric print.
Thank you for sharing and describing your process. Enjoy your hop today!
