I have been wanting to experiment with my new PTI stamp set, Friendship Jar, and it seemed perfect for a Mother's Day card. I also discovered that Wee Memories is having a paper piecing challenge this week so I will be entering my card in the Scrappy Saturday Challenge #54.
I used my Prismacolor pencils over the PTI Bitty Dot Basics paper, and elevated the two tulips in front. I left some of the white paper showing when piecing, so the flowers would stand out against the background. I also added a little random shine with White Pearls embossing powder. Unfortunately it is not photographing so well. I thought the green vellum over the jar gave the effect of green glass. I am happy with the way this turned out.
Supplies:
Paper: PTI, Paper Pizazz, white card stock
Inks: Versafine and VersaMark
Stamps: PTI
Dies: PTI, Nestabillities
Other: Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, Offray ribbon, Hero Arts gems, Stampendous, White Pearls embossing powder, Helmar V2, vellum adhesive
