PTI: Blog Hop

Howdy all! In between packing boxes I just had this hankering to stamp! So I thought I would join you all tonight for one of my favourite monthly events, the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! To find out more about the blog hop, click here. To see what other people have created, click here to click on all the participant lists.

This month's hop is all abut using the colour YELLOW. One of my favourite colours and a great expression of summer coming!

We're moving on Friday to our new house so I thought I need an excuse to make cards to send to friends and family with our new mailing address. Perfect timing for a great challenge!

So here's the fun card I made using yellow as my main colour.....

We Are Moving!

I also made a matching envelope. See the above image.

Here's a close up of my card:


To colour my flower, I first created a mask for the center of the bloom. I then used my Copic air brush and coloured my petals.

The PTI stamps I used were:
Friends 'Til the End (small bloom and leaves)
Background Basics: Stars (on my tag)
Damask Designs (on my card base)

Other supplies: patterned papers: Scenic Route; sentiment stamp: myStamp BOX (Neighborhoods); ink: Stampin' Up!, Memento, Copic Sketch markers; tools: Spellbinder's Nestabilities; jute string: Stampin' Up!; pearls: Hero Arts; other: thread.

Hope you have a great night!
