Today is PTI’s blog hop! Check it out.
I love these colors and of course – flowers! Since I just received my new rose set, I had to ink it up!
I stamped my rose first. I used Lemon Tart, then Melon Berry, and finished with Berry Sorbet. Well when I was done, it was very yellow/orange. I put together my card but kept to the yellow/orange scheme (figuring I would just save this card for a future post and create a new one for the hop). I originally used Summer Sunrise as the color that peeked out from under the white edger panel (because it matched what the lemon/melon combo turned into). I was happy with it – and set it aside.
After an hour or so I came back to the card and the ink had changed colors! Now the top Berry Sorbet inking looked more Melon and the middle Melon inking looked a lot LESS like Summer Sunrise. Instead of ripping the card up, I cut a small piece of Melon cardstock and tucked it under the white edger panel and voila – it worked! I was so happy. And to me, since I’m using more of the colors from the challenge, I felt I could use the card for the hop.
I did try a Berry Sorbet strip instead and I think it worked, but it turned the card much brighter, which was not what I was going for – so I stayed with Melon.
I love happy accidents!
Thanks for stopping by!

What a beautifully conceived card. I love its totally feminine look. Thanks for sharing the info about the color changes over time. I made up a cheat-sheet trying different dye inks in combinations, and didn’t have any success, so I will now go back and do a little more exploring. Just Fabulous!
