This month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop focused on an inspiration photo and I have two cards to show you using the same stamp set and the same technique.

I used the 2011 Anniversary Set (Pretty Peonies) and stamped the outline image with Worn Lipstick distress ink onto watercolor paper. Then, using a waterbush, I pulled the color into the center of the flowers and leaves.
I stamped the sentiment from the complimentary Thank You set that was sent out earlier this year by PTI and added a couple of pearls.
