PaperTrey June Blog Hop Challenge

The next PaperTrey Inc challenge is today, June 25, using this lovely artwork by Yellena James as the inspiration. I checked out her work online and oh, my! I'm a big fan now!


 


I had a couple of ideas, both involving vellum and watercolor. I made one and then decided to try the other idea too, and liked them both so much I now can't decide which one to use for the challenge (only 1 allowed). These were so much fun to make: watercolor, heat embossing, stamping, distress markers, gel pen and oh yes, vellum!

This one used the PaperTrey Ink Mighty Bloom Die, cut in vellum (also PTI) layered over a mixed media background:


The second one was watercolored over a heat-embossed wavy background, decorated with PaperTrey Ink Circle Scribbles heat-embossed on PTI vellum.


So...eeny meeny miny mo! Which one to choose for my entry?

    Both of your cards are beautiful. I am intrigued by the wavy background lines. What stamp did you use to create the wavy background?

      Thanks! That's the Hero Arts Waves background stamp. I've never used it horizontally before and I liked the end result.
