Hey all! It’s the start of Papertrey Ink April release countdown! Today I’ve got a couple cards with very different vibes!
This first card uses the new Elegant Edges: Baroque dies with the Inside Greetings: Celebration II stamps. I love that you can create a custom sized panel with the elegant edges dies. This month’s baroque pattern is so gorgeous! This card also uses one of the dies from the new Love to Layer: Delightful Brackets set and the previously-released Into the Blooms II die set.
The final details are a bit of spray misting, coarse glitter on the flowers, and Fresh Snow Linen cardstock on the card front.
This next card is has a totally different vibe! It uses the new stamp and die set called A Little Rugged, the new Chevron stencils, and the Ripped Banners dies. I started by making the background with the Chevron Vertical stencil. I love using tone on tone with my backgrounds. For this one, I used shades of brown and kraft and then added some splattering in brown as well. I used the new A Little Rugged on the previously-released The Mug die. I used a mix of colors on the splatter stamp to get a fun gradient look. It totally reminds of those speckled pottery mugs. To add a bit more detail, I added the Ripped Banner die cut and a bit of twine. I dragged some dark brown ink on the Ripped Banner die cut to look like streaky paint. I did this by loading up my brush and only pulling it over the paper in one direction.
