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

ReplyDeleteLove your card, Rosemary--beautiful use of the sketch & the inspiration! I have that embossing folder, too, but never seem to use it. You've inspired me, as always!
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary,
