I am finally getting a chance to participate in the PTI Anniversary Challenges. So after a long blog absence, I am hoping to have several cards to share in the next few days!
I love the PTI Year of Flowers series and have most of them. They are such pretty flowers and make such a great focal point for the card. I used one of my very favorite flowers of the series, Gladiolus, for my card. I wanted a softer background so stamped the background using a stamp from the Vintage Labels set. I colored the flowers with Copics. Love how it turned out. The card details are at the bottom.
Hope you are having a blissful day and enjoying the PTI Anniversary Challenges! Thanks for stopping by….

The glads are one of my favorite PTI sets to color, and you have done a fabulous job! And I absolutely love that soft background. I often use the XPress It Blending Card, and think the stark white background is too harsh. You have beautifully solved this problem. Thanks for the inspiration!
