PapertreyInk May 2017 Blog Hop


PTI Blog Hop, with this inspiration


Nichole features the all over patterns of 'Irtsya'.
If you go to her website, she has other patterns and color combos.
Loved the way she softly colors her images, then adds
just a sprinkling of splatter. 


Started with the daisies from Friendship Jar Fillers,
masked them, and added flora from Gathered Garden and Gran's Garden.
I don't need a 'get well' right now, but the sentiment from 
Graceful Greetings 11 fit perfectly! Never looking a gift horse in the mouth,
that's what ended up on my one layer card.
Splatters courtesy of a toothbrush dipped in paint, and a few sequins
and done!

Play along on Nichole's Blog here:


Getting a late start to the hop today, had grandma duty this morning,
and barely getting posted this afternoon!
Can't wait to see what all of you have done.
This was challenging. Worked on it a few days before I was pleased.
You all never fail to amaze me, so I'm off to view!

Hello There


Don't you love working with metallics?
Gold, copper, silver, it sure glams up anything and everything! 

The Card Concept's challenge, #65, 'Pretty Things', 
is this feminine office desk top, trimmed in shiny gold objects.


Zoned right in to the pink peonies (a favorite of mine, I just can't grow
in the Central Valley), and of course, the gold stripes on the cup.


Going with 'Classy and Elegant'
Main panel is white embossed with PTI's Peonies On Parade, a set made for watercolors!
When dry, I masked off the images and flicked on some gold paint,
which looks really rosy in the photo.
Twice cut my sentiment from white and gold card stock and PTI's Scripted.
Gold Foil dp, and pink Shimmer on right also from PTI.
All mounted on PTI's Lovely Lady Cardstock.
Far right panel is a gold washi floral, that when laid on the Lovely Lady,
allows the pink to come through the petals. Loved it!
Couldn't resist adding a few metallic sequins.
Play along for a few more days.


Also posting this card with AAA Cards, where the theme is 'Hello',
And Kylie Purtell from HLS is sponsoring a gift certificate!


I know, it says, 'CAS Game' and my card borderlines anything but CAS,
but it is rather flat, and will go through the mail...
I really tried to keep it Clean, but those sequins were calling me...


Enjoy your weekend!
