Make it Monday Challenge~Framing Sentiments and Images

Hi friends!
I am joining in with this week's PaperTrey Ink Monday!
Laurie did a wonderful video tutorial on the Papertrey Ink blog on how to frame images or sentiments. Her cards are beautiful!
I made a birthday card and followed another tip seen recently on backing your frame with vellum to soften the floral...so the floral peeking through on the underside of the vellum frame is much softer. I also die cut my image from the Fun Frame Dies (PTI) from gold mirror card stock.
The floral frame was made from a mix of PTI stamps and quite a few colors. The card was matted with the PTI Ocean Tides and Gold Mirror as well as PTI white.

Thanks for looking!

My card measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2

I look forward to seeing what everyone else is submitting for this challenge

-always such great inspiration out there!

PTI~Make it Monday!

Just a quick card post today! I am always inspired by Make it Mondays on Papertrey Ink blog~and this week I am actually entering! I know...that never happens...I usually am lagging behind by a couple of weeks.
This week Stephanie challenged us to use different papers on our cards. Well, let me just say...I started with a notebook page with a floral spray...and tried for a bit too long to make it work. Then I just scrapped the idea and began over with my new set, "Life is what you Bake It." Oh my word, is it cute!!

I used some pretty blue tissue paper and a couple of doilies as my "added papers." The doily was actually die cut with a heart die as was the blue tissue paper (layered 3 of them on top of each other)...and then I made a fun pleated streamer to go along the border.The heart has an added floral rhinestone and a few white and clear sequins were sprinkled on top.  This is a 4 1/2 inch square card which fits this image pretty well. It looks like a party to me!
Thanks to the inspiration from Stephanie...I got a little outside my normal creative process on this one.
It's been fun visiting...see you next time!

Make it Monday #287 Baby Wipe Backgrounds!

Hi there! Just quickly sharing a card I made for the oh so fun Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge! This week is Baby Wipe Inking Backgrounds...a fun and easy tutorial to follow featuring using a baby wipe to make a background for your cards.
I attempted rolling my baby wipe to make a rosebud as shown in one of the examples. I used an old SU! reinker and found some matching paper in the pretty blue. I also used a polka dot from "Polka Dot Basics."I made a quick tag and used a sentiment from the "Choose Joy" set. The leaf was taken from another set which I can't recall, but so many of the PTI sets have leafs that could be used.
Easy and fun! I didn't want to hide the background, so I just ran some black gingham ribbon along the side and added a tag for interest.

Thanks so much for popping in! Have a wonderful week!
