Welcome to the very first sneak peek post from the new Ink to Paper company! As many of you have already read, Papertrey Ink will be switching over to a mostly wholesale company (which is great news because it means that the products will still be available through retailers)! Ink to Paper is a fresh new brand that will not only offer new monthly product collections but will also carry many of your favorite Papertrey Ink staples (such as cardstock and ink colors)! You can read the latest newsletter with more detailed info HERE.
So....are you ready to get your first peek at the brand new products? Today we are sharing projects created with the following new sets: Nature's Backgrounds, Essential Sentiments, and Watercolor Backgrounds.
For my card, I used all three brand new stamp sets! I started by stamping the floral frame using several images from the new Nature's Backgrounds.
At first, I stamped all of the images in one layer. I overlapped many of the images and liked the end result but felt that some of the softer flowers got lost. So I decided to use the coordinating Nature's Backgrounds die cuts and re-stamped the flowers. I think they stand out more and love the added dimension!
For the sentiment, I inked up (using ink sponges) one of the stamps from the new Watercolor Backgrounds set. I really wanted the sentiment to stand out so I embossed the Hello (from the new Essential Sentiments set) using black detail embossing powder.
To add a bit more color, I layered the top layer onto a piece of Bitty Big: Lilac Grace patterned paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back tomorrow with more peeks!
