#TGIF523 Hugs

#TGIF523 is hosting a color challenge this week that features Petunia Pop, Balmy Blue, and Daffodil Delight. This is not a color palette I would have arranged all on my own, but thanks to the challenge I have created outside of my usual mix of hues.

For this card I started by making my own hand painted paper. I pressed ink pads on a large block and then spritzed the ink with water to blend the colors. Next, I pressed a piece of Thick Basic White into the watered ink. Once the papers were dry I stamped images from the Pretty Florals Stamp Set and then die cut them with the coordinating dies. For both the large and small rectangles I used the Textured Notes Dies. The "hugs" which is Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper was cut using the Hugs Abloom Dies.
