Mojo Monday 175 and PTI Blog Hop - ENJOY!

It's time for another PTI Blog Hop!  This month's challenge "involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust! Go through your stash and see what little used treasure it might hold."  So I decided to use PTI's Stamp Set Tags for Spring which I have never used before except for the little bunny in the set!

I also am using the FAB sketch from Mojo Monday to get my mojo working!  Here's the sketch:

Here is my card!:

The background is the back side of a piece of dp that was on the clearance rack at Archivers!  What a FIND!  I stamped my new Hero Arts Starburst Lace stamp in Versamark and embossed it with Tattered Rose distress powder.  I used my PTI Giga Guidelines 1 impression plate on the PTI Sweet Blush and stitched it to the PTI white cardstock.  I covered the Martha Stewart tag in Versamark and dragged it through the embossing powder.  I popped it up and glued on that FAB tag.  I made the tag with white embossing powder which I stamped on PTI Berry Sorbet using Versamark.
I took this closeup pic so you can see how the doily tag is popped up and how pretty that seam binding looks (thanks Andrea M.!)  I also used my PTI banner die cut and stamped Enjoy from the same stamp set.  WOW!  I think I might have to use this stamp set again! 
I hope you like my card!

So pretty Sue. Love the colors and that MS doily. I think I might have too many that haven't been inked. I need to go see. :)

Mary said...

Just a question - is the impression plate the Giga Guidelines one? I don't see a Damask one - or am I missing something ? Would love a damask impression plate!

All the colors go together so nicely Sue. The paper was a great find at Archiver's. The lace stamped though mostly covered adds just the perfect touch in the layering element of the card.

Another stunner, Sue. I love how you died the ribbon. Just super!

Love the colors and the stitching@

Cassandra said...

So beautiful and feminine Sue. I used the same layout for my Valentines card but couldn't get it to load for the PTI blog hop (didn't like how I set it up), so went with my first entry. The stitching really makes it (have a bit of a thing about that at the moment).

Pam W. said...
