Good morning :). Another month is here, bringing with it brand new Papertrey Ink products. I am sharing projects using a few of the gorgeous new products available this month...for sale on May 15th, 10PM EST.
My first card uses the new Walk by Faith stamp set, designed by Heather Nichols. I just love the font each of these phrases is compiled in. I stamped my sentiment at the bottom of my card in Stormy Sea ink, embellishing with the sun (also from this set), leaves and a flower (from a new set you'll hear more about soon), and the Stitched Swirls stamp set.
My focal point uses the Stitched Folk Flower and Tag Sale #4 dies. The Walk by Faith stamp set is a perfect set to combine with older sets, stitching dies, etc.
I've used it combined here with the Feather Finery stamp set, as the sentiment from Walk by Faith coordinates so well with the beautiful feathers in this set.
I heat embossed my feather in Zing! Blush and gold embossing powder, and then used the same gold powder for my sentiment.
The subtle, Sheer Basics Vellum vine layered over the flower was cut using the new Garden Garland die...you'll love this one :).
Next up, I paired a sentiment from Walk by Faith with the Brushed Blooms stamp set. Isn't this such a sweet sentiment? I can think of so many different occasions in life that this would be perfect for.
Once again I stamped my sentiment in Stormy Sea, stamping the tiny arrow from the set in Sweet Blush.
My flowers are stamped in Sweet Blush, Pure Poppy, Bright Buttercup, Green Parakeet, and Simply Chartreuse.
My last card uses the Garden Garland die, framing in my sentiment which is from the Inspired: Praise stamp set.
I love combining die cuts with sentiments...meaning part of the sentiment is a die cut, the other is stamped. It adds so much fun and interest.
I watercolored my die cut garland using colors that would coordinate with my sentiment...Spring Moss, Berry Sorbet, Aqua Mist, Melon Berry, and Spring Rain. The tiny flowers at the top and bottom are part of the die cut garland as well. Fun, huh:)?
There's much more for you to see below:
Thanks for stopping in!
Melis
Beautiful, Beautiful sentiments!

Beautiful cards. Love the garden garland. So many uses for that one.

I've fallen in love with Heather's Walk by Faith set due in part to your cards. Those sentiments look amazing with all different styles of cards.
When first seeing the Garden Garland, I wondered what patterned paper you used. It's even prettier knowing you made it yourself with watercolors. So sweet, Melis.
