Hover in the Moments!

Happy Wednesday!  We were out of school today due to impending snowstorm.  We do have some snow, but it is the South, so any amount incapacitates us.  We are just not used to it. Schools out tomorrow, too!   Anyway, I had a chance to get crafty today.  I am playing along with this month's Papertrey Ink Create Along With Us Challenge.  I was inspired by Melissa Phillips card HERE.

I started with the Mix and Mat Postal die.  I die cut some stampers select white along with some Chicken Scratch Gingham.  I created a pocket with the gingham piece.  I added lace detailing as well as some twine.  I sponged Pale Peony onto the background using the smaller of the Dots Stencils.  I created my tag using a Half and Half die cut down to fit inside the pocket. I stamped it using a text background set that I cannot find in the store.  I used versamark.  Next, I die cut and stamped the floral sprigs from Spring Woods.  I die cut and stamped the butterfly from Pretty Peony and layered with butterfly from Love Lives Here die.  

I stamped a sentiment form Pen and Ink onto the top butterfly as well as a different sentiment onto the tag using versafine onyx black ink.  I tied some seam binding ribbon to my tag.  Since my postal portion is smaller, I chose to add it to a kraft card base which I stamped with the Background Basics: Birch in versamark.  I inked around the edges in versamark to create some depth.   I finished my card with some clear sequins.  I used PTI pale peony, autumn rose, cocoa bean, prairie grass, and harvest gold inks.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
