PTI June blog hop challenge


It's time for another PTI blog hop. Welcome and thanks for visiting.

The challenge this month was to use the photo at the bottom of the post for inspiration. I loved the gradient of colours so wanted to create a similar effect on my card:

Photobucket


The bikes are all digital images I printed using Photoshop.  To make my gradient strip, I inked up the back of one of the Polka Dot Basics stamps with stripes of different coloured inks.


Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white
Stamps - PTI Enjoy the Ride (sentiment), Polka Dot Basics II
Ink - Versafine onyx black, Memento new sprout, lady bug, rhubarb stalk, SU groovy guava, PTI aqua mist
Accessories - Bicycle png images, scor-tape, prisma glitter

  7. Cute card Anne, those little bicycles are a great touch! I thought about inking the reverse of a stamp to create a gradient but went with a different idea in the end - love how yours turned out!
