Another month gone by and it's the 25th and time for PTI's Blog Hop. This month's challenge didn't require too much thinking for me - as soon as I saw the Popsicles I knew I was going to pull out my Summer Sweetness stamp set. That made me happy because I haven't used it for quite some time!
The first row of Popsicles in the inspiration photo is what I based my card on. I inked up my stamps, spritzed them with a bit of water and stamped them on Bristol paper. I was going to use watercolor paper but decided to go with a smoother texture. The Popsicles are stamped in Limeade Ice, Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores ink, with the sticks in Kraft ink.
The splatters were made with the same inks mixed with a bit of water and flicked onto the card with a paint brush. I just received the new Colorful Words stamp set and thought it was perfect to use on the card as it looks very similar to the font in the picture. I stamped the sentiment in a grey ink and decided against coloring it in.
Instead of centering the panel, I placed it to the left and bottom of a Limeade Ice cardstock card base.
