Inspired by…Gayatri!

The other day I saw this lovely card done by Gayatri and wanted to play along with her Inspired by Pinterest post.  Here's my take on it:


The background chinese script is a stamp from Kaisercraft that I picked up from my LSS. The black ginko leaves are from PTI's Harvest Berries. I went over them with my Spica pens so a lovely, subtle glitter but you can't tell from this picture. The sentiment says Happy Mother's Day in Vietnamese (this card will be going to my mom who will be THRILLED!). I don't speak or write Vietnamese so I googled the phrase. I then printed it from my computer and die cut it with my PTI label. Here's a video from Erin Lincoln and how to do this technique.

Im entering this card into the following challenges:



Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies - all PTI unless otherwise noted
Stamps: Harvest Berries; Kaisercraft Oriental stamp
Paper: Stamper Select
Ink: Pure Poppy; Versafine Black Onyx
