Hi there! Looks like I'm just making it in for this month's Papertrey Blog Hop! I've only participated one other time and I was DETERMINED today to get a card done! For this month's hop we were to use buttons! I only used one, but I used a button!! LOL! I also used some of my new Papertrey goodies! I {heart} everything they've come out with these last couple months!!
So here are some details: I stamped the gorgeous daffodil from Year of Flowers: Daffodil, in Memento Tuxedo Black on Lemon Tart cardstock. I embossed the Lemon Tart with the Vintage Picnic Impression Plate and then paper pieced the daffodil using Pretty Pastels dp. I did color the flower itself with some Copic markers to give it some depth. I used the Medium Scallop die on the bottom portion of the card and added some ruffled ribbon to finish it off! Oh, and I rounded one corner....I've seen so many people do that and I just love the look!
Well, thank you so much for taking a peek at my blog! Have a great evening!
Stamps: Year of Flowers: Daffodils (Papertrey Ink)
Paper: Dark Chocolate, White, Lemon Tart, Pretty Pastels DP (All Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers
Accessories & Tools: Fresh Snow Twill Ribbon, Vintage Picnic Impression Plate, Dark Chocolate Button, Medium Scallop Die, Foam Tape
Love everything about this, Jackie!! Your daffodil is gorgeous and I love the ruffled ribbon! I keep wanting to play, too, but I have yet to - there's always next month, right?!
