I was intrigued by the idea of doing two toned stamped flowers, so I decided to make a card for this week's
Make It Monday Challenge. While I've applied multiple inks to an image before, I've never done it to basically cut the image in half. I couldn't find two pinks that I liked together, so I actually inked the flower, stamped it off once, inked just half of the image a second time, and then stamped that on my card. I got the idea for the layout from some beautiful stationery at minted.com. I figured that was appropriate considering another MIM challenge that
Melissa Phillips did last year was based on card aisle inspiration. I didn't get a chance to play along then, so I guess this is my way of making up for lost time. :) I simplified the flower spray a ton, but it's about as complicated as I was willing to go. I'm having a lot of fun trying to use some PTI stamp sets that I've had for a really long time, but haven't used a ton.
Supplies
Stamps: PTI (Botanical Silhouettes, Daydreamer, Turning a New Leaf)
Ink: PTI (Spring Moss, Summer Sunrise), SU (Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Pink Passion)
Cardstock: PTI (Stamper's Select White)
Other: Michael's (pearls)
