Hello friends.
Papertrey Ink is celebrating their 11th Anniversary with 10 days of fun and challenges, and todays challenge is a FLORAL challenge...YAY!!!
For this challenge I chose Brushed Blooms because I have only used it once, being a little intimidated about lining the images up. Melissa Phillips used it on a beautiful card just a few days ago, so when I saw today's challenge, I decided I was going to get over my fear and get my MISTI out! And it worked and I had FUN!!
I made a 4 bar card size (3 3/4 x 5 1/2) and added a strip of Aqua Mist DSP and a kraft
Heart Border Die to the lower half. (I chose those colors because in one of the write ups it was said that Aqua Mist and Kraft cardstock and inks were the most popular selling in PTI's 11 years of business!) I also used some Aqua Mist to stencil the upper 2/3 of my card using the
Modern Day Stencil Pack. After stamping the main floral image, I fussy cut it out and adhered it to a Harvest Gold DSP
Basic Bookmark #3 Die and then adhered that to my card base. I finished by adding a seam binding ribbon and twine with a
Tiny Tags die cut and a polka dotted button from my stash.
LOTS of BEAUTIFUL cards from the DT post to inspire you and lots more already in the gallery too, so check it all out right
HERE and then play along for a chance at winning one of the prizes.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

ReplyDeleteSuper sweet card Marcia, and you used so many wonderful items from the PTI store...all those things that most of us have in our stash! I don't have the brushed flowers...GASP! I love the Brushed Birds maybe I 'need' this too! You do so many 'styles' so well my friend!! Have a great weekend!!
You did a lovely job using that stamp set (it’s still on my wish list) and your card has wonderful layers.
ReplyDeleteWhat did we before our 'misti'? Keep it very close at hand for my projects, as I need to line up just about everything! Your card make me dream of Spring with those colors. Love what you layered, especially the happy yellow tag! You're rockin' these challenges!
ReplyDeleteYou've done an awesome job of lining up those flowers, Marcia! Love how they look on that gorgeous tag! This looks like spring and we all love a taste of that these days!
ReplyDeleteCute card, Marcia! These flowers are a lot of work to stamp but I always love how they turn out.
ReplyDeleteWow Marcia, you are really rocking the PTI challenges! Hooray for you for using this set! You lined it up perfectly and it is super adorable! Love the bright, happy colors.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Your background of patterned paper and stenciling is so pretty! And the tag is adorable with your beautiful stamped flowers. The little flower wish tag is the sweetest!! Great design, my friend! xx
