Hello friends!! Spent part of my New Years Eve making a little card for the current PTI Make It Monday: Angled Backgrounds. I don't think I have made a card quite as busy or bright as this one in a very long time and it made me a bit nervous putting it together. However, once it was done I was really pleased with how it turned out.
After I decided on what patterned paper to use (Webster's Pages Family Traditions line... LOVE!!) I had to figure out what stamps to use and finally settled on my very neglected PTI Lovely Layers set. I had inked up one of the stamps, but I don't think I have ever made anything with the set! I die cut all the images and then stamped them using Hero Arts chalk inks (Poppy, Punch. Splash and Latte) and Memento inks (Pear Tart). I cut strips of the patterned papers and then adhered them to a cardstock base. As a base for my floral image I die cut some white cardstock using the PTI notebook die. After arranging all the pieces, but not adhering them, I stamped the sentiment in black ink. Once that was done I adhered all the pieces into place and then added the finished piece to the patterned paper piece. My angled background is a bit hap hazard, but I like it!
Thanks for stopping by...
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; Patterned Paper: Webster's Pages; Inks: Hero Arts & Memento; Stamps: PTI; Dies: PTI
