I just returned from a trip up to Seattle/Vancouver for the past 10 days. Our kids ran a half-marathon in Seattle...my
hubby and I came along to baby-sit the grandkids. It was an
enjoyable trip, especially the lovely Fall-like temperatures. I
loved all the beautiful, green trees everywhere.
It's back to the PTI challenges this week! I selected the
festive tablecloth and pumpkins as inspiration for my card. I
wanted to use the Plaid Builder stencils to bring in the plaid
tablecloth. I made a couple of plaid designs, both of which
were very vibrant and way too much as a whole for what I had
in mind. Turned out that using the Pierced Feature Frames:
Ovals was just enough plaid. Of course, the rest is history...with
Betsy's Simply Gourd-eous set. My sentiment is a bit wonky (it
doesn't pay to work late at night). >.<
Supplies: PTI Simply Gourd-eous, Keep It Simple: Blessed, Pierced Feature Frames:
Oval Die, Plaid Builder Stencil Collection, PTI Dye Ink (Summer Sunrise, Terracotta Tile,
Orange Zest, Soft Stone, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Spring Mist, Honey Nut),
Cuttlebug EF (herringbone), MFT Die-namics Fab Foliage, Lucy's Cards sequins (Fallen
Leaves).
