Papertrey Ink January 2016 Blog Hop

Good afternoon!  What a beautiful winter day we are having, snow covered ground, blue sky, lots of sunshine.  It's quite lovely!

I made a card for the Papertrey Ink January 2016 Blog Hop, this will also be entered into the the Dies R Us Challenge, Stitching, Real Or Faux.

 
I was drawn to the colors and the use of a repeating shape.
 
 
I used the Papertrey Ink products, Through The Trees stamp set and the stamp and die sets from Uncorked.  I also used a Paper Smooches die, Foliage 1 and a Corner Punch. 

 
I repeated the leaves shape by using the punched layers and the Designer Paper, which is The Gathering Collection by Authentique.  Using Copic Markers I created corresponding leaves in blues and oranges.  Yesterday I created a Valentine card using this image and used Copic Markers in many different pinks, it's a very versatile stamp!  Sentiment stamped in Pacific Point ink, and the border of the die has stitching.  2 mini Adhesive Pearls for accents.
 
Thanks so much for coming by, love to have you over!
 
Enjoy~~

  8. You really have an eye for design. You mentioned that you were drawn to the repeating shapes and then made a card that excuted that exactly. I have seen you sue those trees before and every time, they look different. Great job, I hope you win.
