Hello There…

It’s a Papertrey Weekend around here, hey?

This time, I am here to share my creation for this month’s blog hop… I had a lot of fun with this one, and wish I could have found time to make a few more!

This month, we were challenged to choose a colour/sketch combo and create something incorporating the two. Easy peasy.

I knew as soon as I saw this graphic that I wanted to use my Mini Blooms set – it just made sense. And besides, I just really love using this set!

I didn’t have the exact inks for a couple of the colours, so I just used the closest shades I had on hand. I think it still worked! Here is what I came up with:

When I cut the circle out for my sentiment, I just adhered it to the base of my card. I like that you can kind of see the outline from the purple base, since I used foam tape to pop up my main panel.

It’s hard to tell in the photo, but I also embossed over the chicken wire with the Canvas Impression Plate. It just gives it that extra something’, you know?

I *so* loved creating this card… I just puttered over it for as long as I wanted (very different than my usual habits), and I am really pleased with the results.

Thanks for popping in to see me! I won’t keep you since there is always so much to see… Happy Hopping!
