December PTI Blog Hop!



Happy Saturday!  I got some new PTI goodies for Christmas so I just had to get inky!
I am playing along with this month's Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop.  I started with the distressed dotted background in pure poppy.  I popped up this panel using fun foam.  I die cut the Tag Sale: Quilted die in pure black.  To give some new life to an older die, I used the Mat Stack 4 die as a stencil and just outlined the edges with a white gel pen to recreate the look of the white frame from the inspiration photo.  I white embossed the scripture sentiment from Phrases & Praises stamp set.  I sponged some white pigment ink around the edges and over top.  I added some foam tap to this tag as well as some black and white twine.  To ground this frame tag a bit, I used half of a doily die cut placed at a slight angle behind it to create some balance on the right side.







I used three of the same stamped sprigs from the Spruces and Sprigs set.  Two have new leaf ink the other one simply chartreuse.  For the flowers, I layered the tiny flowers from Graceful Greetings.  I finished my card with a few random white gel dots.



As always thanks so much for stopping by!
