Papertrey March Blog Hop Challenge

Hi!

It's time for Papertrey Ink's Monthly Blog Hop!  Nichole asked us to draw inspiration from these gorgeous prints from artist Victoria Johnson.





I came up with this:


I used PTI's Peony Cover Plate and drew from the colors above.  I need some basic, generic cards so did not add a sentiment.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Papertrey Ink #272: Masked Heart Wreaths

Hi,

Today's card is for this week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge: Masked Heart Wreaths.  You can see Melissa's challenge here.  Thanks Melissa, for an awesome challenge- I don't think I would have thought of this technique.



I used images from PTI's "Garden Gild" and "Flower Fusion #7" for the wreath.  I stamped the smallest flower from "Quilted: Summer" around the wreath.  The "love" is a die cut from "Wet Paint Cuts Die Collection".  

Thanks for having a peek.

Chilling Penguin

Hi!

I had time today to join in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Winter Birthday, and discovered that my card also fits the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Chill Out!  




Penguin is from Gina K Designs "You Melt my Heart", and sentiment is from GKD's "Inside and Out".  I used Hero Arts "Star Confetti Fancy Cut Die" for the starry background.  It doesn't quite show in the photo, but I covered the snowball with "Diamond Stickles", and added some sparkly rhinestones to some of the stars.

Enjoy the rest of the week.
