Today's the PTI Blog Hop and this month the inspiration was a photo and while I love the colors, I went for a more muted option (it's hard to see the red and pinks behind the vellum sentiment). I colored the water color paper and then added embossing paste on top with a stencil. I added the PTI sentiment embossed in gold on vellum and added an arrow to cover an inky oops and some gold sequins. Since I love posting cards and being my worst critic, I can say that I don't love love this, I think I needed a smaller sentiment for my frame and the arrow is a bit off... but perhaps I'll doctor it up later today when I finish work? Or maybe not? Life seems to be moving in a warp speed at the moment and I'm constantly trying to come up with a realistic balance on what I can and cannot do...

You're being overly critical, Erin! I think this is a textural delight and I love the soft vellum over all that gorgeous background!! Enjoy the hop!! Hugs, Darnell
Oh, this is gorgeous, Erin! Wonderful take on the inspiration photo!
I'm lovin' this card, just as it is! Beautiful!
i would really love to see this card in person just to see more of that gorgeous texture and the colors under the vellum. i have yet to hop on the embossing paste trend but you're making me want to :-)
Right there with you on warp speed! Time for a glass of wine! You are being too hard on yourself. Love the texture!
Great texture and colors! Beautifully done!
Love the texture you created and the bold sentiment is perfect!!!
This turned out wonderful! I didn't play along this month but hope to next month!
Hi Erin, you're too hard on yourself! This is lovely! And don't you know as women we think we can (and usually do) it all? Blessings!
