January 2016 PTI Blog Hop


Its the 25th so its time for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This month's inspiration photo was graphic and bold and I admit threw me for a bit of a loop. 



I made two cards this month. For my first card, I was inspired by the graphic nature of the photo so I pulled out Sketched Shapes and stamped a row of triangles on a diagonal in Aqua Mist, Tropical Teal, and Orange Zest on two pieces and heat embossed the sentiment in the middle. 


The white panels are adhered with foam tape so it floats above the sentiment. 



 Second card was inspired by the oblong shapes in the photo. I found a medallion from Fancy That that had a similar shape within it. I heat embossed the medallion in white and blended Tropical Teal, Hawaiian Shores, and Orange Zest on the medallions. Sentiment from Swoosh was diecut and adhered across the card.


Can't wait to see what everyone else came up with! Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
