Papertrey April 2017 Blog Hop Challenge...


Well, it's the 25th and Blog Hop time again and a reminder that it's "only" 8 months until Christmas! 😎 I really wasn't very inspired with this month's photo - it's a lot of colors that I wouldn't normally use together.  But isn't that part of the fun to get outside of one's comfort zone?


On white cardstock, I started by stamping the sentiment in the bottom corner and then stamped three large flowers in Pale Peony ink. I added the flower centers with Lemon Tart and Orange Zest inks. The leaves are stamped in Soft Stone ink.

After the card was "done", I didn't like the way it looked and decided to pop up the flower centers to add a little more interest to the card. They are die-cut in white cardstock, stamped with Lemon Tart and Orange Zest inks and on foam tape for dimension. I think the card looks much better now.

Card Details:
  • Stamps:  PTI Ruby Rose, Turning A New Leaf
  • Paper:  PTI White Stampers Select
  • Ink:  PTI Pale Peony, Lemon Tart, Orange Zest, Soft Stone, Smokey Shadow
  • Dies:  PTI Ruby Rose
  • Other:  Foam Tape

  6. Sweet card, Lainey! I would never have used this color combo, either, but it is fun to try something different!

  7. This is so very pretty Lainey. So scary that we keep using the same stamp set. I thought about those little TANL branches, but then was too lazy to do that much stamping! Love how yours turned out.
