PTI March 2014 Blog Hop




I waited until the last minute to make and write up my PTI blog hop card.  I don't know why, but I'll try to be quick about it.

Since the theme is High Gloss, I decided to use my UTEE--it made my card difficult to photograph, but it is very glossy in person.


My card layout was inspired by this card by Amy that I saw last night.  I die cut two flowers from Doodlie Do and stamped them with Versafine Onyx Black.  Then, I turned the stamp upside down, and used the back to stamp color onto the stamped image (too lazy to color, but this is so easy).  I used SU Strawberry Slush and Crisp Cantaloupe.  I did the same thing with the leaves, using Limeade Ice ink.  Then, I covered both flowers with Versamagic and embossed with 3 coats of UTEE.  The flowers are very stiff and shiny in person.

There's a lot to see today, so I won't keep you long.


Thanks for Visiting
