Happy Saturday my friends!! The first week back after the holidays is always action packed, I’m so looking forward to some crafty time today!
I have two inspirations today…The first is Papertrey Ink’s Make It Monday Challenge to fill up those corners! The second inspiration is also from Papertrey Ink. It’s their January 2015 Inspiration Archive’s Color Combination…isn’t this combination amazing?
When I pulled these colors of cardstock out, I truly gasped…they are SO pretty together!
I needed to use at least one Papertrey Ink product for these challenges so I went to the PTI section of my stamp storage and found a delightful stamp set that was an exclusive gift if you purchased a minimum amount order…so of course, I did! The stamp set is called Filled with Joy and has very elegant looking flowers and leaves in it, perfect for this color combination!
What do you think? I couldn’t just fill one corner, I had to fill them both! And can I say, my new MISTI sure got a workout on this card! Just lots and lots of images and color, and the sentiment…so sweet! Love the font! And love that there are lots of options to switch out the saying, this one just worked for me.
You will have to take my word for it that every leaf and flower on this card is covered liberally with Wink of Stella…it’s sooo sparkly pretty!!
And I did not stop at the front…
Yep, more stamps from this set! I also threw in this little dot stamp from Rustic Wreath. It’s a go-to stamp for me now, it’s so easy to add little dots of interest and color to just about anything!
I also decided to enter this card into the Anything-Goes-As Long-As-It’s-New challenge over at NBUS (never-before-used-schtuff) since everything is new and I can enter more than once 🙂
Well, that’s my post for today, I’m off now to create more stuff with new goodies!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and get to make something pretty!!
Wishing you joy and blessings!!
