February Color Play

Good morning and welcome to February's Papertrey Ink Color Play feature! This month I'm drawing my inspiration from a photo on the Sweet Style Blog of these incredible sprinkle-embellished milk bottles.

I was absolutely smitten with this photo from the moment I saw it. Just look at those playful, bubble gum colors! And the sprinkles, oooh, the sprinkles! How could I resist? I just knew that this color combo would lend itself to an adorable card, perfectly befitting Valentine’s Day.

I began by die cutting my speech bubble and stamping it with the coordinating image using Sweet Blush ink. I followed up with an Aqua Mist ampersand and the "always" and "forever" in Raspberry Fizz ink. I then stamped the sentiments on my card base, again in Raspberry Fizz. Leaving them on the block allowed me to ensure that the words would match up perfectly when I went to adhere my speech bubble onto the base.

In addition to the color scheme, I found the sprinkles in the photo particularly inspiring. To replicate the look I stamped a variety of dots (from several different sets, listed below) in a circle surrounding my sentiments using all of the colors in the palette.

I also added a handful of tiny hearts that I coated in fine tourmaline glitter for a little extra Valentiney sparkle. I finished by mounting my speech bubble to my card base with foam tape.

Thank you so much for joining me today! Make sure to check in with Betsy, Cristina, Dawn, Heather, and Melissa as they share their Revisited projects this morning. I hope you've enjoyed my post and are planning to play along with the challenge this month. If you do, I hope you'll stop by our Challenge Forum and share a photo or link to your project. Take care and I'll see you again soon!
