Today is the monthly blog hop at Papertrey Ink. I couldn't participate last month since we were in Oregon, so I really wanted to play along today. Here's the challenge:
Papertrey Ink is frequently right on top of trends, and tilted is definitely one I've seen around the internet for the last couple of months. I managed to get two cards completed for today's blog hop. The first one was a get well card for a dear friend who had eye surgery on Monday. She is required to keep her head face down forty-five minutes of every hour for at least a week, and most likely two weeks. She has a special chair, but to say it's uncomfortable is to put it mildly. Fortunately she isn't in any pain.
I haven't place a PTI order in awhile, but I did this month and ordered "Rosie Posie Step 2" stamps for the "Rosie Posie" set. I've always loved "Rosie Posie," and the second stamping brings the flowers alive. The patterned paper is an old one from my scrapbook stash: Basic Stripe by Reminisce, and the sentiment is from "Communique Sentiments." I colored the pearls with a Copic marker. Here's a closer look at the flowers.
Last night after dinner, I tried used another of my new purchases, the "Wonderful Words: Birthday" die. I cut thin strips of Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Simply Chartreuse, Hawaiian Shores, and Raspberry Fizz, and layered them diagonally on Select White cardstock. "Birthday" was cut from True Black and the Happy is stamped from "Birthday Bash Sentiments." The pearls are from Michaels.
You're sure to find lots of inspiration for beautiful cards here today. Edited to add a link to this week's CASual Friday challenge: Birthday Bash!
