Introducing Peonies on Parade, Paper Clippings & Inspired

It's the 5th day of Papertrey's 9th anniversary release, and five more to go! I'm having so much fun with all of the new products!

Today we are introducing a beautiful new floral set by Dawn McVey called Peonies on Parade. There is a stamp set, coordinating dies, and, like Bold Blossoms last month and What the Doodle: Butterfly yesterday, there will be two paper collections for coloring, one on standard white card stock and one on watercolor paper. We are also introducing two new stamp/die series by Betsy Veldman. The first series is Paper Clippings, which features a beautiful, intricate die-cut reminiscent of intricate paper cutting art. We'll begin that series with Paper Clippings: Happy Day. The second series, also by Betsy Veldman, is called Inspired, and will feature faith-based phrases. We begin that series with Inspired: Savior.

All of the new products will be available at 10 pm EST February 15 in the Papertrey Ink store.

My project today features Inspired: Savior, along with florals and vines from Paper Clippings: Happy Day. I don't often work with purples, not because I don't like them, but because they just tend to be hard for me to use. I'm glad I did today!

I created my sentiment with the Inspired: Savior stamps and dies, then used some of the vines and florals from Paper Clippings: Happy Day to embellish. The Happy Day die-cut was done in white, then colored with ink blending foam in shades of purple. The addition flower die-cuts that are popped up on the vines were stamped.

I framed everything with Erin's Cover Plate: Scroll Frame, gently pulling that thin outside edge forward for some dimension. The three crosses are from last year's Easter Alleluias set.

On the inside, I stamped a simple Easter Blessings sentiment from Keep It Simple: Easter, along with some of the stamped floral imagery from Paper Clippings: Happy Day.

And my deed is done with purple for at least another year! Just kidding!!
