PaperTrey Ink February Blog Hop Challenge

This month's inspiration piece is a pretty Spring picture. Bunnies, grass, a metal stand, pastels...

I was at a crop this weekend and didn't have my entire arsenal of products with me, but I did have the Garden Variety stamp and die set, which made a very nice embossed copper watering can filled with grass and spring flowers, as well as one of my new Brushed Birds (love these little guys), set on a Mix & Mat: Confetti mat, and a sentiment from Cutaway Tags: Spring on a Banner Style die. Whew! I sure made good use of some of my PTI goodies this weekend!

And I got home in time to unload my car (no small task), and post this entry to the blog hop.

PTI Anniversary Challenge #2

Papertrey Ink is celebrating its 11th anniversary to coincide with its February release, and as they do every year, there are lots of challenges. This one is to use at least one Papertrey product, and transform a project already done into something else.

I chose to transform a card I made recently as part of a Make It Monday challenge using reinkers and baby wipes.

I wanted to try a different idea from the same technique video, rolling up the baby wipe to make rosebuds. Can't say mine exactly look like rosebuds, but with a few leaves, you can use your imagination. :-) I used the same Mix & Mat: Herringbone, and a different saying, Quoted: Right Moment, stamped in black and clear heat embossed for a little shine. This time I used a trellis embossing folder instead of arrows, and the effect I was going for was more feminine instead of rather masculine.

This was another fun challenge!
