Celebrate!

The challenge this week at Papertrey, is to use Lots o' Dots. Michelle Leone

hosts the video, showing how she adds color with Nuvo drops.

Since the 4th is right around the corner (where has this year gone!), I used the new 

Kaboom stamp and die set, embossing in white, and adding Nuvo drops for color. 

The fireworks are so much fun to play with. I cut down the main card front to 3 3/4

by 4 3/4", so I could add the stripe patterned paper and mat in red.

Not exactly Clean and Simple, as Michelle did, but explosive anyway!

Play MIM on the PapertreyInk blog through the week.

My links are direct access to the PTI shop, if something catches your eye,

I'd love if you'd order through me!

Thanks, and Happy Crafting!

Ashley demonstrates using baby wipes to create her designer paper bg,

in this week's MIM at PapertreyInk.

That's right, BABY WIPES!

Ashley shows a couple of ways to use the wipes. I did a card

for my grandson, using the folded or rolled technique.

The reinkers I used are True Black & Harvest gold.

I kept it simple, letting those free form circles show.

After all, it's going to a 17 year old, who's definitely

more interested in the money inside!

The sentiment is black embossed onto a strip of 1 1/4" vellum.
