Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge

Hello creative friends.  Today I have a card for the PTI May 2016 Blog Hop Challenge.  Check out this gorgeous inspiration photo.
I was inspired by the lovely pastel colors and the soft gray sentiment.  



I am also entering my card in the PTI Make it Monday Challenge #250 - creating masked backgrounds.  I blended sevearal inks to achieve the background.  I was going for a soft beach look.  Ink blending does not come easy to me, but after much practice, I like the way this turned out.  

Supplies:
Paper:  Neenah
Ink:  Versacolor, Memento and Avery Elle
Stamps:  PTI, Simple Seashells and Flower Favorites for the sentiment
Dies:  PTI coordinationg dies and Memory Box for the masked background
Other:  Inkadinkado masking paper
