PTI 4th Anniversary Celebrations - #5

Entry #5 - Maile Belles' Contribution:  Hehe, those pinwheels just make me smile.  SO excited about the sets she'll be releasing this year!  Super simple little card (2.5" x 4.25") - but I like how it turned out.  The image circle is popped up, so it's a little more interesting.  Thought these would be good if you were needing to mass produce for folks that'll most likely throw out whatever you've made (think: classrooms full of 6-year-olds...).

PTI 4th Anniversary Celebrations - #1


I'm playing along with the Anniversary Festivities over at PaperTrey Ink this week... Today's challenge was to use the free downloadable sheet of tags by the PTI Designers, for a shot at winning the experience of being able to design your own stamp set for PTI, to be released in May.

You can enter once per image, and I managed to use 8/9 - sorry Alli Miles (the tag she created had the prettiest flower on it, but I hated the way I coloured it, and then ran out of sunlight, so I decided to call it a day, since the photo would be extra-crappy in the end...)

This is Beth Silaika's contribution - it reads 'Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life/Life gives us a fairytale' - awwwwwww.......

Supplies used:
PTI Tag Download (Printed on Red River Linen Paper)
PTI 'In Bloom' Patterned Paper
PTI Cardstock - True Black, Raspberry Fizz
PTI Dies:  Limitless Layers 1-3/4" Circles, Mat Stack 1
PTI Woodgrain Impression Plate
