Paper trey Ink February Blog Hop Challenge

Good morning dear friends!! I was so lucky last night to have some serious happy mail from PTI!! It was all the motivation I needed to join in the FEBRUARY 2016 BLOG HOP CHALLENGE!!!

Here's the challenge:

and my take on the challenge:

I used brand new PTI sets Tulip Time and Paper Clippings.  I am loving both of these sets.  They will be the first sets I pick up this time of the year when I am dying for spring!!  I used an old floral shaped card template as the pink plate in the challenge photo grabbed my eye.  I added die cuts from both sets and a butterfly that was inspired by the photo.  I do have to say that I absolutely love the font in the sentiment from Tulip Time!!  So fun and just my style!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!!  See you along the hop!!

February Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Good Morning dear friends!!!  Happy Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!!  I finally found my mojo during the PTI Anniversary celebration and I have got to keep it going!!  This month's Blog Hop is full of gorgeous color and I let the colors inspire me with my creation.

  Here's the challenge:

FEBRUARY 2015 BLOG HOP CHALLENGE

and here's my take on the challenge:

I stamped and embossed the background panel with Background Basics: Venice and then I sponged the base with Hawaiian Shores, Plum Pudding, Hibiscus Burst and Blueberry Sky inks. The Butterfly was inspired by one of my favorite card makers Melissa Phillips.  She is amazing!!  I added some stamped banners and a die cut sentiment.  I die cut the rolled rose and added a pearl and leaf embellishment to complete the card.

PTI Supplies Used:  Beautiful Butterfly Dies, Life Is Beautiful Dies, Songbirds Stamps and Dies, Swoosh Dies, and Background Basics: Venice Stamps.

Thank you so much for stopping by!! I can't wait to see what  you have created!!!

Have a wonderful day,

Papertrey Ink Anniversary Challenge - Heavy Metal Challenge

Good Morning friends!!!  I am here with my final post for the Papertrey Anniversary Challenge.  

Here's the challenge:

With today's product introductions being geared around metallics, your challenge is to incorporate nothing but metallics and neutrals into a new card creation!  Think heat embossing, metallic papers, embellishments, fibers or ribbons.  Time to pull out all of your heavy metal!

and here's my take on the challenge:

I used metallic gold paper, printed paper and gold embossing for this challenge. The stamps and dies include PTI's Life Is Beautiful butterfly die, Circle Scribbles Die and the sentiment is from the Friendly Flowers stamp set.

This was such a fun card to make!! Gold is one of my new favorites!!
Thanks for stopping in!! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!
