PTI September Blog Hop

For PTI's September Blog Hop, we were asked to incorporate a skill or technique that we "scrap-lifted" from one of the many friendly, helpful scrappers out there that love to share their know how.  It was indeed a challenge to limit my homage to just one but I finally narrowed it down.  For this hop, I channeled Mish Mash.  I really admire the way she pulls her supplies together before she starts, limits her materials to something less than her entire inventory, and then PRODUCES.  One of her recent posts (here) was right on point!!  She is so prolific--something to aspire to!!

I started by grabbing my sketch book and very quickly drew the concept for the card.  I pulled out my Basic Grey Ambrosia 6X6 deck, added coordinating PTI solid cardstock, felts, and the dies I wanted to use.  I created this set of cards--what do you think?

I pushed myself to use many different pieces.  It may be a bit of overkill but the more I look at the finished product, the more I like the results.  Here are a few different shots of the individual cards.  Note that I used PTI's envelop liner die and scraps of a 12X12 version of one of the pages from the Ambrosia set (the image is the same but the scale is different).     

                                                                                                             

 Hope you enjoy the cards and the Blog Hop!  Thanks for hopping by...
