I recently got some new stamps from PTI (yes, out with the old, in with the new!), and had a little time to play with them today.
I created two cards using the exact same image, yet they are very different from each other. I used different colors and changed the size of the image panel. Different sentiment fonts help to evoke different moods.
Take a look...
I started out making this one. When I was playing around with different colors for the flowers, I decided I should make a blue one, too.
I had different sizes of scraps of white, so that is how the image panels came to be different sizes. That in turn dictated a different layout.
I stamped the branch twice with wasabi and celery to get a shadow effect. I was off a little with the blue flowered branch, and it just looks blurry. Kind of like what I see when I'm not wearing my reading glasses. I finally broke down and bought some, but I refuse to wear them. The only reason I bought them was so I could read the fine print on a bottle of medicine in an emergency. Besides, my arms are still long enough!
Anyhoo...
Supplies used:
Stamps - short & sweet, wonderful words, PTI beautiful blooms
Paper - GKD PL white, poppy parade, pumpkin pie, marina mist, pacific point
Ink - wild wasabi, certainly celery, poppy parade, pacific point
Accessories - trio flower punch, fancy photo corner punch, daubers, rhinestones, nail heads, dimensionsals, SAMJ
Which one do you like better? I'm having a hard time deciding.
Hope you have a great weekend!

I love both, but if I had to choose a favourite I would go with the first one - I love the colours!
More great stamps from PTI that I can't get in Aussie land :(
