January PTI Blog Hop...

Hey there!!!  Stopping in with a card for this month's PTI blog hop.  I have one really old birthday related stamp set from PTI and nothing with balloons or cakes so I decided to just focus on some of the colors and the flowers in the inspiration photo for my card.  The layout is from Freshly Made Sketches so I will be posting it there, as well as the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of layering.  I wasn't even sure that I would get something done for the hop as I forgot about it until yesterday afternoon.  So, this morning I quickly (as you can see from my less than perfect stamping, lol) put something together.  I used PTI's Bigger Blooms stamps and dies along with an embossing folder that I have not used in ages.   Die cut all the flowers and leaves and then stamped them using two shades of pink ink (dark and light) and a light green for the leaves.  Stamped the sentiment and die cut it with a MFT banner die and then matted it with a second banner die cut from pink cardstock.  Layered everything up on my card base and I was done!  YAY!! Another birthday card for my stash!!



Have a wonderful day and happy hopping!!

Supplies:  Cardstock:  PTI rustic white, SSS fog, SU! pink; Stamps:   PTI, Dies:  PTI and MFT; Inks:  Stampin Up!; Embossing folder:  Sizzix
