PTI January Blog Hop

Once again, I'm playing along with the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop this month,

where the challenge is to create a card only using the color pink

with the option to use neutrals (such as white, cream, gray, black or kraft).

For the blog hop,

I created both a card and a layout.

I was inspired by the pillow in the bottom left-hand corner to create my card.

I trimmed my background cardstock in pinks with curved edges, just like the pillow.

Then I added stitching.

I diecut a vellum panel using the new PTI heart cover plate, 

which I layered over top and stitched in place along the top.

I stamped my sentiment (from Wonderful Words Additions) in versa mark 

and heat embossed it in white.

For the "you", I diecut it several times, twice in pink and a third time in white and stacked

the words together before adhering them to my card.

A few Pretty Pink Posh Sweetheart Mix sequins finish it off.

For my layout, I decided to scrapbook a photo of Sage

sitting under my scrapbook table, playing my iPod touch.

I used a mix of My Mind's Eye patterned papers, both 6x6 & 12x12.

I diecut my title using PTI bookprint lowercase alphabet dies.

I used my PTI The Sweet Life dies to diecut some MME patterned paper.

Then I added some Pretty Pink Posh Sweetheart Mix sequins.

I love how these look scattered on the page! 

Here's a close up of my journaling:

I diecut the tag using PTI's Tag Sale #7 and added

my journaling with my typewriter.

For the bow, I used some twine from the 

Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Embellishment Kit (which the sequins come in, too!)

Thanks for looking!
