This month's Blog Hop Challenge at Papertrey Ink has the most beautiful color palette. Our inspiration photo is below. The pinks and greens with some touches of gold are lovely.
On this first card, which is my favorite, I decided to use my into the woods cover plate in a slightly different way. I cut the cover plate into multiple pieces so I could place it down the long side of my card rather than it's normal orientation. I ink blended my background and added pink and green paint splatters. Last I added the pink bird from the PTI Winter Woods Stamp Set to go with the sentiment from the PTI Phrases and Praises Stamp Set.
On the next card I started our with the PTI You've Been Framed: Oval Die. Then I ink blended my pink background with a Tim Holtz stencil to add the stripes. I shaded the small flower with Copic Markers. The green sprigs are just small pieces from the into the woods cover plate. The small flower is from the PTI In Bloom Stamp Set and the sentiment if from the PTI Fancy That stamp set (I really like that font).
I wasn't through with ink blending or paint splatters which both are included in the background of this next card. I got out my PTI Bold Blooms Stamp set again (I can't seem to put it away) and the PTI Phrases and Praises Stamp Set for this card. I recently purchased a Misti from
My Sweet Petunia and that has really helped in stamping nice clean and clear sentiments. It was a worthy investment.

I really like the MISTI too! Worth every penny! Beautiful cards, you can see how each was inspired by the photo!
Goodness--a trio of lovlies. They are all wonderful, but I think my fave is the first because of the creative way you used that gorgeous cover plate.
Lovely soft background on your first card - my favorite! Your bird is so sweet in the leafy half-frame.
Wow these cards are all gorgeous! Love the backgrounds you've created on the first and third card.
Love how you used Into the Woods coverplate on your first two cards. Very pretty! I like them all.
