April PTI blog hop

It's that time of the month, Papertrey Ink's blog hop. It is so much fun and full of so much inspiration.

Here is our inspiration photo:

Although some of the fabrics tend to look more like Aqua Mist, the third one from the top looked more like Spring Rain. I wanted to use my new Spring Rain ink pad since I have yet to use it on a card so this was the perfect opportunity. I was inspired by the actual rows of fabric in the photo and wanted to recreate this.

Originally I made some home made washii tape from a previous Make-it-Monday. However, when I applied it to my white card base, the adhesive appeared more yellowish which totally clashed with the card base. So, in my attempt to salvage my card, I restamped the images on cardstock and adhered them over the washii tape. I do not feel like it is my best and that is probably because I would've liked to use Aqua Mist and Raspberry Fizz for my card. If you know me, I am a bright color kind of gal. The colors I used were Spring Rain and Sweet Blush, soft and subtle. I am learning that soft and subtle is okay.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!
