July PTI blog hop with May Arts ribbon!


This months PTI blog hop challenge was to use office supplies! I grabbed a tag & got busy!

SU! creamy caramel on PTI polka dots 2, PTI tea inks for the background on the card base (PTI giga guidelines, guidelines 2 & scroll from vintage labels), PTI pure poppy for the red. Tea inks distress all edges. Red embroidery floss... and that crocheted ribbon from May Arts... can you say YUMMO!?!

The crocheted ribbon comes white...

but it is easily transformed with some glimmer mist!

Here's a close-up of that goodness!

And one more to show the dimension/textures....

And here's another quickie tag to hang on a gift bag, or tie on....

Same stamps/ink, but check out that DELICIOUS red scallop trim! Talk about a lot of interest!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love to hear what you think...! Have fun hopping, and stop by the May Arts blog too- one more spot for great inspiration!

Great colors! I really like the red pops of color! I will also have to try some Glimmer Mist. I like how it transformed your trim and made it "go" with your color scheme.!

Fist off - WELCOME HOME!! I am so glad to see you back in blogland. I've missed you.

Now for this project - OMW, I love what you did with this tag! Shimmer Mist on ribbon???? I would never have thought to do it, but you can bet I will now. Great job with the blog hop. I'm sad that I didn't get to play along this month.

Love your tags!! Super great tip on using Glimmer Mist on the ribbon - I'm gonna try that tomorrow!! (but not pink - hee hee) - does Glimmer Mist come in gray/grey?! ;-)

Amy said...

Love Love LOVE this!! Your stamped guidelines background looks like snowflakes and would make an awesome winter background! I'm going to have to remember this! Is it just stamped on white cardstock? Oh yeah.....can't forget that yummo lace trim that you spritzed up!
