Sentiment Shadowing with PTI

Yikes!  Some of you know what a creature of habit I am when it comes to crafting.  I don't like trying new things because it scares me.  However, today I stepped WAY out of my comfort zone and at least gave this new (to me) technique my best try.  I can live with with the end result.  I followed Lizzie's Sentiment Shadowing Tutorial on the new Papertrey Ink Blog, and tried to come up with something using this technique.  I do like how the background turned out; so...thank you so much, Lizzie, for the stencil/ink background technique in the tutorial.

I used a soft pink paper and followed Lizzie's tutorial to sponge and stencil my background.  Then, I used her partial die-cut technique with PTI Flower Fusion #3 Die to create my sentiment banner.  I used two Papertrey Ink stamp sets for my sentiment, flowers and limbs.  One is the Twig Wreath Stamp Set and the other is the Bloomin' Cute Stamp Set.  I also added a few sequins to accent my card.  It's not spectacular by any means, but at least I can say I gave it a try.  And for me, that's a big step.

Blessings,
Karen
