Today I'm joining in on the February Papertrey Ink Blog Hop where we are to make a card inspired by this photo:
I was inspired by the gray background, the purple fruits, the gold bowl and lettering on black and the touch of pink of the jewelry boxes!
I gold embossed the Ginkgo stem from Harvest Berries onto a panel of Stormy Sea card, die cut and stamped the berry stems from Spruce and Sprigs using Plum Pudding card and ink. I layered the purple berry stems over the ginkgo with foam dots. I gold embossed the sentiment from Round and Round on a black strip and layered it with foam dots as well. I stamped the 3 dot clusters from Harvest Berries for a little interest and added 3 pink dew drops. I layered the panel to a black panel and then to a white card base.
You'll find the PTI blog hop on Nicole's blog here - I'm off to see how everyone else was inspired!
I'm also linking my card to:
Paper: White, True Black, Stormy Sea, Plum Pudding - PTI
Ink: Plum Pudding - PTI, Versamark
Accessories: gold embossing powder, Spruce and Sprigs Die set - PTI, foam dots, dew drops.
