Papertrey March Blog Hop Challenge
March 25, 2012
Yes I finished the card just in time for Papertrey Ink’s March Blog Hop Challenge, CAS-ual Friday Challenge AND Moxie Fab’s Paper Scrap Challenge. Talk about productive! For this month’s inspiration photo from PTI, I wanted to do something bright and cheerful with the given colors of aqua & yellow.
I remember the stripes and the dots from the inspiration image and so I briefly sketched out the card for the challenge. I’m glad the card turned out the way I wanted it to be!
Yup, what I envisioned the card to be!
I basically used 2 long stripes of colored cardstock found from my scrap box. Since the cards I make are 1/2 inch smaller than normal cards, I end up with long strips of cardstock. I adhered the paper in alternating color on some scrap printer paper and trimmed the extra pieces for my “confetti” which was made with some eyelet punches.
Used: Papertrey Ink (Upper case Alphabet dies, Smokey Shadow cardstock, Aqua Mist cardstock, Summer Sunrise cardstock, Smokey Shadow ink, Birthday Basics stamp set) | Stampin’ Up (Cool Caribbean ink, Summer Sun ink, Dimensionals) | Market Street Stamps (Blast Off! stamp set) | Copic (Y06) | Others (rinestones – white & blue)

Oh your blueprint sure turned into something special! Love how you included it…even your sketches are neat as a pin :)!! Love the 2 colors on the letters and the perfectly placed confetti! I tried a confetti card and it ended up in the trash…maybe I’ll try mapping it out next time, LOL!

I love tis design and the way you’ve integrated the colours in the lettering dies and the accent details.

Wow, neat card! I love how your “confetti” looks so random. Whenever I try a technique like this is just doesn’t seem to work!
