PTI March Blog Hop! & NBUS #4


A Big 'Hi' and welcome to PTI's March Blog Hop!
Nichole gave us this inspiration photo:

Light, bright and oozing Spring!

Colors: yellow & aqua. style: country, cottagey, some 40's retro.
Wallpaper, patterns & a polka dot table cloth!


Broke into the Cuppa Love set of stamps and dies. Hadn't used them, 
and seemed fitting for an inspiration of such a warm scene!
During the release of this set, loved Heather's card pictured here:


I embossed the images onto Hawaiian Shores card stock with colors from the photo,
and used the sentiment from the set stamped in Ocean Tides Ink.
Polka dots embossed in white from PTI's Polka Dot Basics.
Play along all day on Nichole's Blog, you'll find awesome ideas and fun!
Edge scallop cut from heart banner die.


Since I haven't used this set before, adding the card to Darnell's NBUS Challenge?
Do you have stamps you haven't used yet? 
This is a great challenge to use them!

    Another beauty Nancy! I'd forgotten about that flower in the Cuppa Love set, and it looks fantastic embossed! Loving those polka dots at the top too and the scalloped edge against the DSP...all makes for one lovely card! :0)

    Hey, Nancy! You always seem to go above and beyond. Gorgeous card with that rich embossing, you really captured the spirit of the inspiration photo. P.S. I want that little round tag; so perfect stamped in Ocean Tides.

    Seriously, Nancy, this is the BEST shaped card I have ever seen! Besides the shape, I love the paper, the cup decoration, and the circle tag with the twine bow! You have such a keen eye for design, my friend, and then you execute it impeccably!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #4!! Hugs, Darnell
