July PTI Blog Hop

Welcome!!! I am very excited to be participating in my very first Blog Hop!!! My blog is brand new (made my first post yesterday) so I hope I do this right.

This months challenge for the PTI Blog Hop is to integrate Text into our creations. So here is what I came up with.
I used BackgroundBasics: Text Style in versamark on kraft cardstock, then layered a flourish over the text. I created a neat ribbon detail by stitching over the ruffles. I thought this went well with the stitched button on the butterfly. Check out the butterfly, I gave him a quick crinkling to add a bit of texture. Isn't he cute!
This was fun! I am already looking forward to next months Blog Hop. I hope you enjoyed my card and hope you will come back soon!!! Thanks For looking!


Stamps: Background Basics: Text Style, Fancy Flourishes & Damask Design (Sentiment)

Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Versamark & Choc Chip (SU)

Cardstock: Raspberry Fizz, Kraft & White

Accessories: Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch, Choc GG Ribbon, Dark Choc Vintage Button, Twine & Edge Distresser
