PTI Past, Present and Future 2011: Scatter Kindness

On to 2011!  For that year, Papertrey Ink featured two sets that I own: Garden Variety and Year of Flowers Collection.  I decided to use both!  They work quite well together.

I stamped the pansy image from Year of Flowers Collection on Kraft cardstock in white pigment ink.  After it dried, I outlined each flower with a Copic marker.  I stamped a sentiment from the same set in Dark Chocolate ink in the lower corner.  Interestingly enough, the white ink showed through the darker ink.  Looks pretty cool!

I cut out a seed packet frame from New Leaf cardstock and stamped the coordinating image from Garden Variety II using Pinefeather ink.  On the inner portion, I stamped text print using VersaMark ink and then sponged around the edges.  I stamped the gloves from Garden Variety in Dark Chocolate ink on white cardstock and cut them out by hand.  After stamping the pansy on white cardstock, I colored it with Copic markers, adding some yellow Stickles to the centers, and then cut it out.

I stamped the price image on Kraft cardstock with Dark Chocolate ink, also cutting it out by hand.  I cut a seed packet from Dark Chocolate patterned paper.  Everything was then glued to the card base.  I'm wishing I had some of the jute button twine on hand, because it would look nice tied around the seed packet.  Something more to add to the list!  lol
