Papertrey Ink - June Blog Hop

I thought I wasn't going to get a card done for this month's PTI blog hop -  but I woke up this morning inspired to create!
This was the artwork we were to use for our inspiration.
I decided to use the Meadow Greens stamps and dies for my card. I was inspired by the colors, the shapes and the 'cover all' design.
I die cut the flowers out of vellum, stamped them and layered them over the background stampings with thick foam dots so they were held up high above the background - if they were too close, the background showed through.
I usually design with the rule of threes -  but three flowers looked too busy on this already busy design - so I went with 3 enamel dots to draw the eye around the card!
Now I'm off to check out all the creative inspiration others have left over at the PTI blog hop - are you joining in today??
It's a gorgeous summer's day in the 80's here in MA today -   my son, Josh, is coming over for lunch on the deck - and then Kent and I are going for a walk along Lynn Beach - hope you are having a lovely weekend!

Paper:  White, Aqua Mist, Vellum - PTI
Ink:  Aqua Mist, Pure Poppy, Tropical Teal, Hibiscus Burst, True Black - PTI

    Meadow Greens is still on my wish list, and your card just reconfirmed I need to bump that one toward the top. Your results are fab popping up the flowers over your lovely background, Julia.
