Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop Challenge



Yes, that's right.  It does say April.  Oh, Income Tax season, you are demanding.  Decided to get this month's Blog Hop card actually ON the blog.

We were given this lovely ladylike stack of tea cups for inspiration.  I couldn't decide if I thought the photo was aqua or blue and kept going back and forth.  Made me think of that striped dress on Facebook several years back. 


And here is my take:




My design played on the stripes from Bitty Big paper in Aqua Mist Spring Rain Aqua Mist to mimic the subtle striping in the teacups.  I also accented the stripes with gold glitter washi tape to represent the gilding.  The floral set, Bigger Blooms, is new to me although it is on this spring's retirement list.  The sentiment is from Signature Greetings, stamped in black pigment ink and embossed with clear powder.  Most of the inks are Papertrey Ink with the exception of Tsukinko's Delicata ink in Golden Glitz.  My colors are Bright Buttercup, Scarlet Jewel, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, Pinefeather, New Leaf and Hawaiian Shores.

Thank you for stopping by.
