Papertrey Ink Blog Hop
Posted by Michelle on April 25th, 2010 . Filed under: Uncategorized .
Hello – and thanks for stopping in along the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This month’s focus is tissue paper. I’ve seen lots of pretty flowers out there in blogland made from tissue paper and while they are quite lovely, I figured this month’s Hop would be full of them. So I went a different direction: patterned tissue paper.
I went through my gift-wrapping box and found this pretty Victorian tissue paper and adhered some of it to some scrap cardstock and then with my Top Note die ran that through the Big Shot. I layered a strip of Sweet Blush on to some Ocean Tides cardstock, coordinated some Ocean Tides ribbon with some seam binding and a pretty little sparkler from Webster’s Pages. My sentiment from Spiral Bouquet is stamped in Ocean Tides on a little scrap piece of Rustic Cream.
See you on the Hop!
