February 2015 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop


It's the 25th and that means it the Papertrey Blog Hop today! I'm sure there will be TONS of fabulous  creations out there. Here's the inspiration photo:



Such a pretty photo of a collection of items. However, I found it tough to create something inspired by it. Not sure why. Perhaps its because the colors of green and pink remind me of my bedroom when I was a teenager. Perhaps it is because all these objects clustered together told me to create something heavily layered which is completely out of my wheelhouse. Perhaps all the different shapes and textures really threw me and my clean and simple self for a loop. 

My first card was a HOT MESS. It was almost a literal interpretation of the photo and probably will go down in my personal history as the worst card I made ever. LOL. Seriously. 

A few days later, I came up with this second card - 



I stamped an image from Meadow Greens on Spring Moss card stock and cut it in half using stitched rectangles dies. I die cut a piece of Sweet Blush with a larger stitched rectangle die but kept it intact and layered the two. Sentiment from Keep It Simple series. 

Can't wait to see what everyone made! I know there will be a lot of "Wow, why didn't I think of that?" moments. Thanks for popping in!

Colour Me...Monochromatic #27

Happy Wednesday!

As many of you know, color challenges are my favorite type of challenge. So when Katie and Tara asked me to join the Colour Me Design Team, I was so honored and excited.



This week's Colour Me....Monochromatic features a deep purple color. I knew I wanted to make a birthday card for my cousin whose favorite color is purple.

I embossed the blooms from PTI Meadow Greens in white on dark purple Bazzill card stock. I love the texture heat embossing gives. I cut the panel diagonally and stamped my sentiment from PTI Think Big Favorites in the middle. I added a few white enamel dots to the centers. Quick and simple. This would probably make a nice sympathy card too.



I hope you will join me at Colour Me each week. The Colour Me team has made some beautiful cards this week so head on over their blogs and  check them out.


Hope you can play along with us this week. Can't wait to see you in the gallery!
