PTI July Blog Hop

Time for another PTI Blog Hop and I was excited to use my newest stamp sets. This month we have a photo for inspiration--LOVE those. The colors are SO PTI! See the photo below and click here for link to Nichole's blog with details.
The base is Spring Moss cardstock And the strip is Aqua Mist cut with a die from the new Half and Half set. It was then stamped with a image from Half and Half stamp set. Love that they are open-ended and it is easy to continue the pattern to cover the entire die strip. The sentiment is from that set also and I drew around the stamp with a pencil and cut it out to have that shape. The triangle is from the this month's Tranquility Triangle and was cut with one of the new triangle dies. I decided to use Terracotta Tile for the orange as it is more muted. And the butterfly accent is two layers (white and Hawaiian Shores) using a Martha Stewart punch. 

Enjoy the blog!!
Smiles,
Sharron

Isn't Spring Moss a wonderful color? What fun to see you pulling out your new stamps to play! And here I was being so good and keeping to my order minimum and now you're dangling temptation in front of my nose again! Those half and halfs, so cute.
