This is my second post today!
A number of challenges came together for me this week (I love it when that happens!!). There is a new sketch at retrosketches.
I didn't really want to use a heart because I am pretty much done with Valentine's Day. In digging through my die stash, I found the notched flower dies from Papertrey Ink. This made me think about the fact that there is a lot going on at PTI this month with their sixth anniversary. One of the things going on is CASing their design team and the prize is the first $300 of stuff on your wishlist. Wouldn't that be nice? Of course, they have hundreds and hundreds of entrants, but you can't win if you don't try!!
I have always liked this card from Maile Belles. I've actually totally CASed it already - but I wanted to focus on what I like best - the neutral, soft gray background and the pop of vibrant color.
- Stamps: Papertrey Ink Signature Greetings, Turning a New Leaf
- Paper: Papertrey Ink Soft Stone, Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, Summer Sunrise dp and Vellum Cardstock
- Ink: Papertrey Ink Soft Chartreuse, Memento black
- Accessories: Papertrey Ink Notched Flower die, Turning a New Leaf die, Summer Sunrise button, Impression Plate, misc twine, Spellbinder rectangle die
Fantastic take on the sketch ~ great idea to make a window and use the sunrise impression plate behind it. Absolutely love the bright colors with the soft stone!
ReplyDeleteOkay..love this! Great take on the sketch and those bright flowers are perfect!
