Hello my friend

Good morning!! I'm excited to be playing along with the PTI blog hop today!! I saw the inspriation photo and was super excited to play along!!!

Isn't this photo just beautiful! It was a great starting point for some inspiration!!

And, here is the card I made. I used some of my favorites...Rosie Posie!! I started with the center stage cover plate. I cut it out of some cardstock and used it as a stencil with my Enchanted Evening ink. I used the largest of the doily dies to create a vellum layer right over the stenciled background. Then I cut and stamped images from the Rosie Posie set, and used Rosie Posie 2 for the details. I used Hibiscus Burst and Raspberry Fizz inks on my flowers. I used my MISTI to help me get the details in the right spot on my flowers and it made my heart SO happy!! I used a couple of springs of leaves from the Turning a new Leaf die--I think that is the only leaf die I used 98% of the time I need green for my flowers!!;) My sentiment came from Sketched Shapes..and I cut the ends of my strip into little fish tails on both ends before nesting it into the bouquet! My last touch was a little scattering of clear sequins...

I am excited to get a few minutes to take a peek at all the beautiful cards along the hop today!! If you missed the new Retro Sketch post, you can see that here!! Take care and thanks a bundle for stopping by!! Have a great weekend!!

This is just lovely. Great way to use the Center stage cover plate as well. I didn't think of the stencil. Beautiful grouping of flowers for your focal point.
