thinking of you...

Hey there... have a little card I made for this week's Make It Monday over at PTI.  This week the technique is all about second generation stamping.  I haven't had the opportunity to do a MIM challenge in a few weeks so thought I would get something made for this week's challenge.  I used the current ColourQ combo for the card... although I admit I'm probably stretching it a bit in that my white isn't a bright, crisp white, but a soft, creamy white.



For the card I used the PTI Botanical Silhouettes set, stamping the flowers using SU!'s Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron.  As I was doing the second generation stamping I wasn't sure the lighter shade of the yellow would show up well, but after taking the photo I was so happy to see that it did.  The little pleating detail (an idea I got from Nichole Heady) was created using some SU! designer paper that has the peachy color required for the ColourQ challenge in it.   I used PTI's Sweet Blush double stitch ribbon in place of the Blushing Bride (pink) color.   The sentiment, also from Botanical Silhouettes, was stamped using kraft ink.

Thanks for stopping by...

  2. So many things to love! I keep forgetting to try that popped up layer using the same card stock, which I love. And your execution of the generational stamping is flawless. And then that pleat, shut up, I have not seen that. Looks like a winner to me!
