It's time for the May Papertrey Blog Hop. This month, I decided to do something a little different with our beautiful inspiration photo. Instead of trying to replicate the photo, which I usually try to do, I just pulled out some elements of the photo that spoke to me, and then made a card with them. What I took away from this photo was--the color scheme (black, white, simply chartruese), geometric patterns, and a something round and green.
Today, I am traveling to New York to attend my nephew's Bar Mitzvah. So, I promise to come and visit your blog when I get home. I'm eager to see what you have created, too.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Background Basics Medallions, Just the Ticket
Paper: White
Other: Felt, Ribbon
Ink: Simply Chartreuse, Memento Tuxedo Black
