Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop

This month's blog hop had an inspiration photo to use to create your card. Here it is:


And this is what I created:

Not only was this card inspired by the photo, but it was also inspired by an absolutely awesome card that my friend, Christina made for the most recent JUGS challenge. Click here to check it out! I just loved how she used the bold colors and on each one there was a different texture. So when I saw the PTI inspiration photo, I knew I wanted to try it! I didn't have any little girly dresses, but I did have this Impression Obsession dress form stamp that I bought ages ago and still hadn't used, so I though that it could work. I stamped it on kraft cardstock, then colored it and outlined it with Copics. I used one of the PTI mat stack dies, too (I thought the craft color kind of resembled the wooden cubby holes in the pic). Then I used the three little library clips to represent the hooks on the wall holding up the dresses. The Hello Friend stamp I just got in my most recent order from PTI, its Think Big Favorites #3. Some of the cardstock is PTI and some SU. Clips and pearls are SU. Hope you enjoy!
