Papertrey Ink July 2012 Blog Hop

Hello Friends! I'm glad that I was able to whip together a card last night to join in on this month's Blog Hop Festivities. I am so jealous that I missed all the Stamp-a-Faire fun that I knew I couldn't miss out on today. Here is my card:


These are the colors that were our inspiration for this month's hop:


Everything I used is from PTI except the pearls which are Recollections from Michaels.


Notice the strategically place pearls in the sentiment?? Great for covering up an ink smudge! And you thought I put them there intentionally ;)





Sorry for such a quick post today. I'm actually at work finishing up my post (shhh!!!) so that it can be part of the blog hop. I look forward to checking out everyone's creations later on!

  7. It's a beautiful card! I like this rather clean design, and you've chosen a gorgeous pink as the background. The sentiment is really decorative, with the addition of the pearls. Very nice!

  13. Love this card! The pears are genious! I'll have to remember that trick! I love the use of the Berry Sorbet as the card base and the white of the border on the bottom! It really pops!

  14. I love the filigree border tucked under the green panel. I am convinced that bling was created for the sole purpose of covering uh-oh's. Great job with the inspiration!

  15. This is such an elegant card. That border looks great with the roses.

  22. Very pretty card - Rosie Posie was so popular when it was released, but sadly it seems to have been replaced by The Sweet Life. Glad to see someone used it for Blog Hop! Your pearl placement is perfect - great idea for saving a gorgeous card!

  23. Jessica, beautiful card...I love how we both used some of the same elements in making this card, but yours is just so incredible. Those pearls really add a wonderful touch of class to your already stunning card.

  24. Love everything about this ~ the flowers, pearls, filigree border, and the berry sorbet (or melon berry?) card base ~ or should I just have said non-white card base? ~ Just a beautiful card!
