It has been too long since I participated in a Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, but I thought what better time to jump right in than on a day I have off?
This month's challenge was to use the holiday leftovers such as ribbon, gift wrap and the like to create something new with Papertrey Ink products. Since I need a few thank you cards from gifts received during this holiday season I thought what better way to use some leftovers.
Inspiration for my card designs, I am sure you could see, came from Maile Belles. My use of tissue paper was inspired by the work of Marcy Penner and Rahel Menig. I just love how they layers of tissue paper and twine along with other elements for a feminine and delicate appeal. I am also finding pure white to be very attractive right now.
These were the leftovers I used on the couple of cards I created this afternoon:
I glued the wrapping paper to scraps of cardstock before I die cut the pinked edge circle.
Here are close ups of the two thank you cards:
Thank you for stopping by!
Happy and merry creating,
Shay.
