PTI blog hop February 2011



This month's challenge was about adding scallops! Here's what I came up with:

I used PTI fine linen as the base, ocean tides & book print for the scallops (cut with the large scallop border). Banner builders for the detail on the scallops & the sentiment is from round & round. That is stamped on May Arts 1" satin/grosgrain edge in vintage cream ink.

The bird is cut from paper in my stash with the Straight from the nest cartridge in my cricut. I added some tea dye ink to her.... I was inspired by the Embellish color trends with birds

Thanks so much for stopping by- have fun hopping!!
