Hello friends. It's that happy time of the month again, where
Papertrey Ink has their monthly blog hop challenge. This months inspiration photo is fabulous!!
And here's what I came up with:
The fern on the Olive Twist cardstock was stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder to give it a nice little shine, and then I finished with a bit of twine and a clothespin.
This was such a fun challenge to play with and I'm feeling a lot like Heather Nichols today! Hope you all had fun playing and hopping along too...now I need to go see what everyone else came up with!! All the info you need to play along can be found right
HERE.
Hope you'll all come back again tomorrow to see what
BIRGIT,
PATTI and I have come up with for our monthly challenge using the following PTI sets:
Winter/Spring Woods, the
Inspired sets, and the
Forget Me Not set. Hopefully between the 3 of us, we'll inspire you to get these sets out and see what you can come up with! :0)
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do! :0)
This is just beautiful and would be well suited to men or women.
