So Happy…

Um… how is it the 25th already? I mean, weren’t we just talking about the *last* Papertrey Ink Blog Hop? Sheesh… a week in Mexico really speeds things up, doesn’t it?

Oh, was that just me? *wink*

Well, indeed it’s time for another Hop with PTI, and I am here with my little contribution… I had some fun with this one… I visited my Inspiration Board again (remember my random collection?), and drew from there for today’s project.

This month, we were challenged to create on an angle… incorporate angles into our design. I *never* do this, but truly, it was a really easy way to add some serious fun factor!

I had this fun image that I recently pinned, and wanted to turn into a card:

It’s part of a collection of free printables, if you’re interested!

So, I thought I’d see how stamping on Aqua Mist cardstock would turn out, and tried to replicate this design fairly literally.

I did do a test swatch with my stamp colours, which, if you think you might try this, I really recommend. The shades changed quite drastically as they dried, and the ones I didn’t think would look right at all ended up being the ones I used!

So that’s my angled design for you! I won’t keep you, since you have a lot more stops to make… but thanks for popping by to see what I made!

    I have that same poster pinned as inspiration also, you did a great job with it! I love that you stamped directly on the Aqua Mist cardstock, I've been thinking of doing that also.
    Great job!

    Love your take on the inspiration piece Meredith! And the tone-on-tone angled section works perfectly – adds some interest without taking away from the beautiful flowers!

    The colors look great on the Aqua Mist cardstock! – what ink colors did you end up using?
