Good morning and happy Sunday! I'm sippin' coffee in the craft room and making up this blog post to share! Usually I have too much other stuff going on, to enter the awesome Papertrey Ink blog hops, but this time I am able to play! Yahooo! Click Here for the 4-1-1 and more details so you can enter, and see everyone else's projects too. For this hop, you have one day to make a project inspired by a color combination AND a sketch. Love it!
There were so many beautiful color palettes this time around, and I surprised myself by using the one that had all neutrals! I also gave myself a third challenge – to use only things that came in my new PTI order that arrived on Friday….
Here is the inspiration image – with the colors and the sketch. I placed my diagonal stripe on the opposite side of my card because I didn't want Mr. Squirrel looking right off the card. I thought he looked better on the other side!
I used Rustic Cream Cardstock to emboss the new Burlap embossing plate….YUM! So rich. I colored my adorable squirrel with my Copic Markers….and gave him a gingham tummy.
This little leaf comes with the Nuts for You stamp set, and I had to use it!
Thanks for popping by! I hope you liked my project…Now I'm off to check out everyone else's cards on the PTI BLOG HOP! Have a blessed day. XO
