Here is the beautiful inspiration photo we were given for this month's PTI blog hop:
I was determined to use something new for my card, since this is the first time I have ever received a release package in time to make something for the blog hop. I saw the ruffles, thought of scallops, and decided to use the Background Basics Rainbow stamp set.
I will be honest and say that this is not one of my favorite cards. But, it is done, and I didn't have time to make anything else. Enjoy the hop. I expect I will see many cards I wish I had thought of myself.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Background Basics: Rainbow, Mixed Messages
Paper: Aqua Mist, Harvest Gold
Other: Doily Die, Hello Friend Die, Polka Dot IP, Ribbon, Button, Embroidery Floss
Ink: Color Box Fresh Green, Harvest Gold
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteWhere to start! This is gorgeous, you are so amazing at creating backgrounds with your stamps. Just perfect. I love that doily in Harvest Gold! I think this card is one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love how you interpreted the photo. The ribbon around the flower is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSuper card. Love how the doily goes with your background. Love your flower.

I guess I'll just look at everyone else's creations instead! :)
Great to make your own embellishment Joyce and the little bow on your lovely card is fabulous. Did you have a heads up on the MIM video!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think we are our hardest critics Joyce, because this is one of my favorite cards of yours. The new stamp set is totally you, you do lots of neat geometric cards and this one is no exception. I love the little doo-dad you made with the ribbon and the stamping on this one is lined up perfectly, looks just like a great sheet of patterned paper. Great job, love it!
ReplyDeletewhat fun to use your new stamps - I'm hoping to get time this morning to join in, but feeling challenged by the color combo. Love your flower/doily layers.
ReplyDeleteI knew passing up that rainbow border was a silly thing for me to do. On my list for a future order! Love your card, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteThis came out beautifully. Love the way you used that background stamp.
ReplyDeleteI was so thrilled to get my new goodies in time for the hop, too! I love how you used your new stamps and your layered bloom is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you stamped the background-a little tricky, but so impressive! I think you captured the essence of the challenge beautifully!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, your card caught my eye in the gallery straight away. It's lovely! I can see you are going to be making some beautiful cards with that rainbow background. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, Joyce! You say this is not one of your favorite cards, but I am darn right emarrassed by mine! I have contemplated taking it down all day! But yours is very pretty! I have that Rainbow set with my June order sitting at home waiting for me today! Yay! Your colors are so pretty and I love how you layered the doily with the flower and ribbon flower! :)
ReplyDeleteJoyce this is LOVELY!! I really like your flower with the doily!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a GREAT day!!
LOVE the rainbow background you created! It is a very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, Your card is fabulous...not sure why it's not your favorite, but it is a really great take on the sketch. You were so brave to use the ribbon and stitched it up to make a wonderful focal point on your card. I am in love with your background, just so impressive, something I would have never done. Fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, gosh, you totally rocked the challenge with your colors, and the ruffled ribbon, and even the thin Aqua Mist shade of embroidery thread! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Joyce! Love the ruffled flower and the background stamp!-Irma

ReplyDeleteJoyce, I love your layering of diecuts here and that ribbon ruffle is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOhh, I love what you did with the ribbon!!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the inspiration photo. I wasn't sure about the new BB: Rainbow when I saw the stamp set but I think you did great with this stamp. Love the doily die cut.
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I especially like the rainbow background.
ReplyDeletePerfect stamp to use for this and I love the ruffle in the middle of your flower!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I think this card is wonderful!! You did such an amazing job with the background stamp. It's hard to imagine it was even stamped--looks like a piece of patterned paper! And I love how your flower with the doily and ruffled ribbon!
