PTI MIM #263: Background Building With Frames

Amy Sheffer shared with us how to build a background using frame die-cuts for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday. Didn't think I'd find time to attempt this technique as we had a busy week. We also drove to Richland, WA for the weekend to meet up with other relatives to watch two nephews (Senior & Sophomore) from Idaho participate in a Cross-Country Track Meet Saturday. The Senior finished second in his division so that was a very proud moment. Enough of my life...now on to my card.

Thanks for stopping by, and I really do appreciate your comments.

Papertrey Ink's 8th Anniversary Spring Into Action (Day 5)

Since we're all looking forward to Spring, PTI wants us to "spring" into action and use a stamp set from our collection that hasn't seen ink…or hasn't been used enough. Don't even ask how many sets I "had to have" but yet I've only used one stamp from each set. Today's card uses stamps from two different seldom-used sets. Looks like the number of entries each day is increasing so I won't keep you. Hope you're having a great Monday ~ here's my card.

The vellum was die cut using Take Three, which is just a tad bigger than the opening of Framed Out #12. Embossed the sentiment in white and stamped the frame using Sweet Blush ink. The Berry Sorbet panels stamped using VersaMark and Fancy Flourishes were attached with SU dimentionals to the Bitty Dot paper for added dimension. Added some sequins for a little bling.
