For the second month in a row, I came close to missing the Papertrey Blog Hop--one of my favorite events each month. Fortunately, last night I realized and had enough time to complete a card set for this month's challenge to create with flower images. On Monday, my May PTI order arrived, so I was happy to break open the Year of the Flower Collection set. I love these smaller versions and know I'll be using this set often.
All three cards are just the same except for the focal image and the color of the doily mat. It was interesting to me to see how different the focal images looked as I changed the color of the mat. The Morning Glories looked best with Ripe Avocado, the Sweet Peas with a Bazzill scrap from my file, and the Lily of the Valley with a Simply Chartreuse mat. The cards are pre-made, I think from Paper Source and the narrow green ribbon is also from Paper Source. The focal images were stamped on Vintage Cream and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The dies are both Papertrey: Limitless Layers and Doily Details. I'm in need of several note cards for thank you notes so I'll probably use these myself.
If you're looking for card-making inspiration, this blog hop is always a good place to look!
