Hi there! Here today to share a card I made for the PTI January Blog Hop Challenge. It has been months since I participated and I am so happy I had a chance to play this month! Nichole is challenging us all to use a Papertrey stamp set that either has not seen ink or one that may be collecting dust. (We all know how that goes!)
I blew the dust off
Spiral Bouquet and got busy. I was inspired by a card created by
Betsy Veldman (click
HERE to see Betsy's gorgeous sample!). I loved the way Betsy shared how she stamped the flower die cut with the images from
Spiral Bouquet giving a plain flower a whole new look! Thanks Betsy for sharing your "secrets" with all of us :)
The pretty flower shown above was cut/embossed using two of the
S5-050 Rose Creations die templates and layered upon a lil' doily cut/embossed using a
S5-041 Floral Doily Motifs die template.
Thanks for looking! Can't wait to see all the inspiration along the hop :)
Supplies Used:
Stamps:
Papertrey Ink Spiral Bouquet
Die Templates & Machine:
Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® S5-041 Floral Doily Motifs,
S5-050 Rose Creations,
GC-001 Grand Calibur
Patterned Paper:
My Mind's Eye Lost & Found, Madison Avenue Collection/Cherish
Paper: PTI
Ink: PTI Raspberry Fizz
