PTI April Blog Hop--Part Two and Make It Monday--Take Two





I was finally able to make the final card I had in mind last night for this month's Blog Hop--and just in time, too.  I wanted to use the hexagons from Sketched Shapes.  I am not crazy about the stamping I did--those hexagons are a bit harder to line up than I thought--more practice is needed.  But, I am excited about the potential of this set.  All this color using only one stamp from Sketched Shapes.








I have another card for this week's Make it Monday.  I used Perfect Pearls Mists on just the orange 5 and 0.  In real life, they are very shimmery.  This card was inspired by a card I saw a while back, and I can't remember where I saw it.  If it was your card or you know who had the original idea, please let me know so I can credit her properly.

Edited to add that Kelly sent me a pinterest link to the original card, which can be found here on Kelly's pinboard, and also let me know that the original artist is Pamela Ho.  Edited again to say I found the link to Pamela's card.  I am so lucky to have readers who are also crafty detectives.

  14. I know exactly what card inspired your 50th birthday card - I think it was one of the MFW negative die cut winners - love your take on it and know how shimmery the orange numbers are - so tough to photograph. The sketched shape rainbow is great - there is a fun energy in that card with the big sentiment and scatter of stars!
