Feb PTI Blog Hop

February Blog Hop Challenge with PaperTrey Ink

This is our challenge from Nicole.

"Since we just finished up our 3rd Anniversary Festivities, we thought we would do something extra special for this month's Blog Hop! Design Team Appreciation Day! Your challenge is to go through the Design Team gallery or any of the Design Team Members' blogs and find a project that is especially inspirational to you! Then recreate the project with your own spin, making it unique! Be sure to share a link and photo of the original project that inspired you! And you can also use this opportunity to thank the team for all their contributions this past year! I know they inspire ME daily and I never seem to thank them enough! We look forward to seeing your projects!"

I just LOVE all of the design teams blogs! I am constantly visiting them for inspiration.

Thank you ladies for sharing your talents!!!

The designer I chose to lift is Niki Estes.

The project I chose is seen here. http://nikiestes.typepad.com/my_paper_creations/2010/02/thanks-for-everything.html

I chose to use Niki's card as a sketch. And here is my card.

My card base is made from PTI Spring Rain CS. I stamped the background with Tin Types in Spring Moss on Vintage Cream CS. The "In Bloom" flower was stamped on Spring Rain with Enchanted Evening ink, and the leaves on Spring Moss CS with Ripe Avocado ink. The small scallop is Spring Moss cut with a Fiskars border punch. The ribbon is Spring Rain satin. The sentiment is from the Butterflies Dreams set, stamped in Enchanted Evening.

The cream edging is cut with Martha Stewart punches on cream CS from my stash, since MS punches just can't handle our wonderful PTI CS. I added some pearls and a BG button. Then I coated my flower with glitter out of my stash.

Thank you, Niki for sharing the beautiful design!!!
