Papertrey August Blog Hop Challenge

Hi friends!
    How are you all? Missed being here especially for MFT-Camp Create, but been very busy doing all sorts before my son returned back to University. A warm welcome to all my new friends here. I hope you will visit often. Just felt like playing for the PTI challenge today and made this card.


and this is the inspiration image...
Supplies used:
 Papertrey Ink-Spring woods stamp set and dies
                         Perfect match hybrid ink-sweet blush
Taylored Expressions-embrace beauty (sentiment)  
chalk pastels
colour pencils 
Memento ink pads
Crayola marker
ice stickles
glossy accents

    From the inspiration picture above I used the colours. The grey background of clouds was made with my own template and chalk pastels. Next, the apple blossom branch was stamped...branch and leaves with memento inks and flowers with PTI sweet blush ink. The flowers were then coloured over with colour pencils to get the desired colour. The bird was stamped separately, using the MISTI, die cut and adhered with foam tape. A few blossom buds were added with a Crayola marker. Finished off with ice stickles on the flowers, glossy accents for the birds eye, the sentiment and adhered the panel on a dark background. 
I'm also entering this card for challenges at...
