Fresh Papaya Summer...

Hiya,

I've had a nice relaxing day today for a change and had a chance to get inky! I combined two challenges: the colours from Create with Connie & Mary and the Freshly Made Sketch...


I decided to use Papaya Collage together with a fabulous new sentiment set called Perfectly Penned...


I flipped the sketch so I could use the lovely frame and sentiment (both stamped in Choc Chip). I masked off the inside of the frame and sponged some Summer Starfruit ink around then stamped the leaves in Gumball Green. The flowers were stamped on Very Vanilla with Stazon ink then coloured with Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green ink and an aquapainter. I stamped and cut extra leaves to layer behind for a fuller effect. The dsp is Summer Starfruit from the new in colour prints pack and I layered a piece of Summer Starfruit over Choc Chip card, diecut with one of the new Finishing Touches edgelits (love these!). Some Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon and Very Vanilla button finished things off.

Thanks for stopping by!
