Papertrey February 2013 Blog Hop

The theme for this month's PTI blog hop is Marvelous Monograms.  I will admit that when I first saw this topic, I was not excited.  How much I do with an initial?  Especially when I only have one Papertrey Alphabet set?  Even with this inspirational photo?

However, I am not one to miss a party, so I started thinking about what kind of monogram would I use, if I had to use monogrammed stationery?  Well, I had just bought a big set of Inktensive pencils, so how about something colorful?

I scribbled a bit in the colors of the rainbow, and then brushed over it all with a water brush.  After it dried, I used the 'J' from Paper Smooches Graffiti and a flower from Flower Fusion.  The paper is PTI white.

I liked my colorful monogram, and decided to make some note cards for my daughters.  They are always in need of thank you notes. 

I used one sheet of card stock, cut into quarters, to make a little set of flat note cards.

I used a piece of PTI white that was 5 1/2 by 4 to color and wet, and then cut it into 4 one inch strips.  That way the colored pieces in the set would be essentially the same.  And, it was quicker.

The monogram is a flower from Flower Fusion and a letter from Lawn Fawn Smitty's ABC's.

Now, I think that the monogram challenge was a pretty good one.

Enjoy the rest of the hop.  I am eager to see what everyone else did.
