Happy New Year! I just had to post a card today. Crafting more is one of my new year's resolutions. I am playing along with a couple of blog challenges today. I made a card for Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge A La Carte. I found a challenge(several actually) that I did not get to play during the year. I chose challenge #284: Background stamping with sentiments.
I started with some dark indigo pattern papers. I stamped the sentiment from Pen and Ink at an angle using dark indigo ink. I next die cut and stamped the flowers and leaves using PTI Farmer's Market Florals and Farmer's Market dies. I arranged the florals around the scalloped frame(which I cannot remember the name nor can I find at PTI...if you know, let me know). I stamped the same sentiment in dark indigo. I finished the card with a few clear sequins. I am also playing along with Freshly Made Sketches. I chose to use a circle instead of a rectangle for the focal image. I am also playing along with Dragonfly Journeys Fresh Start Challenge.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
