PTI's Create Along With Us - April 2016

Hello friends.  Playing along with Papertrey Ink's release week challenge Create Along With Us, where you create a card inspired by one of the design team members.  Every month there is oodles of inspiration and it is so hard to pick just one card to CASE, but this month Lizzie Jones made such a beautiful CAS card, that I just had to give it a try!  Here is Lizzie's card:

Don't Lose Faith Card

And here is mine:


What struck me right away about Lizzie's card was the thin white frame from the new Cover Plate: Delightful...I think that just adds such a lovely detail to a card!  I used last months Cover Plate: Pretty Frame for my little extra detail.  I blended Harvest Gold and Orange Zest inks onto the corner of my card first, and then added the frame, butterflies (What The Doddle: Butterfly & Flower Favorites) and sentiment (Wet Paint: Holiday & Choose Joy).  A few rhinestones completed my Lizzie inspired card.  Here's a little closer up view:


There is SOOOO much to be inspired by this month, so head on over to Nichole Heady's blog and play along HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!
