April 2017 Blog Hop PTI

Tuesday, April 25, 2017

This is the most organised I have been for a hop, I had my card ready to go five days ago and then forgot to take the photos and blog...............Now just five hours before closing I am blogging!
I have been quite active with the PTI challenges in the last few weeks and what I love is that I am getting joy from sets that have been sitting on my shelf for quite some time now. Wowser Painted Petals is such a beautiful set and I had a lovely time creating with it for this challenge. I took inspiration on the colours and did the smooching technique for my background for the very first time...it was fun and one I plan on using more often as I love the look.

Thanks so much for dropping by today, I hope you have some crafting time to enjoy!

  6. I love Painted Petals, and these happy flowers look great on your "smooshed" background. I enjoy the challenges too -- they encourage me to sift through my stamps to find just the right one.
