With Love

I finally finished my BORING project for work, so I 

should have more time for fun cardmaking.  Anything

related to paper is automatically delegated to me at work ;(.

This card is for the "wood" challenge at CASology, and 

the "anything goes" challenge at Simon Says Stamp

Wednesday Challenge. I used the SU Hardwood background

stamp and inked with the same ink and cardstock colors, so 

hopefully the background is subtle enough to still be CAS.

 

Supplies ~ 

Stamps:  PTI 2010 Love Tags, Tag Its # 11

Paper:  PTI White & Soft Stone, SU Poppy Parade &  Basic Gray

Ink:  PTI Soft Stone, SU Basic Gray & Pure Poppy

Papertrey June Blog Hop Challenge

The first thing that jumped out at me was the round pillow, so I made a layered flower in Aqua Mist patterned paper (and then later rejected the double layers).  I added the lemon tart buttons to repeat the color, but am not sure if it made it too busy.  It also turns out that there is a sketch challenge at The Paper Players that was similar to what I had in mind.

The inspiration for this month's PTI Blog Hop ~

Stamps:  PTI Turning a New Leaf & Beautiful Butterflies

Paper: PTI Aqua Mist Leaves, New Leaf, Aqua Mist, Lemon Tart & Soft Stone

Just For You

One more card today for three challenges at the color throwdown, a sketch challenge at deconstructing-jen., and this week's Make it Monday technique.  The two outside flowers are from the heart border, the small center flower is from the simple circles border - cut in half, the orange ones are from the small scallop border and the large one is from the movers & shakers - poppers die.

 

Make It Monday #66: Felt Flowers From Border Dies

There seems to be no end to the versatility of basic dies. In our opinion, they are some of the handiest tools to have in your stash. Today, Ashley tests and proves the theory by using her border dies to create amazing floral accents out of felt. Use her technique on your next card to give it some homemade sweetness.
