The challenge for this month's Papertrey Blog Hop is to look for inspiration from a book or magazine cover. I spent Thanksgiving week with my family relaxing in the sunshine at a resort in Arizona, and my Kindle almost never left my side. I have the sort of Kindle that costs less because an advertisement is always on the screen when the Kindle is turned off. So, I spent quite a bit of time looking at this:
It reminded me of the houses from Love Lives Here, which I had purchased back in July, but hadn't seen much ink yet. My friend Cathy was kind enough to send me the dies, and I based my color scheme on some twine that Kim sent me a while back, and I wanted to use on the card.
It's a bit hard to see in this picture, but the red heart on the very end is popped up and covered with Diamond Stickles.
Enjoy the rest of the hop. I'm pretty excited to see what everyone else has done.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Love Lives Here
Paper: White, Pure Poppy, Limeade Ice, New Leaf
Ink: Ocean Tides, Pure Poppy, Versamark
Other: Love Lives Here Dies, Pinking Die, Twine from Kim, Diamond Stickles
