PTI Spring Fling Challenge

The design team members of Papertrey Ink were challenged to create a project based off of something that inspired them this spring. They then shared their inspirational pieces and challenged us to pick one of the pieces and use it to create something. You can see Nicole's post HERE for all of the details. This was fun! First, it was difficult choosing which piece to use. I was inspired in different ways and for different reasons by all of them. They were all great, yet so different. In the end, I went with Heather Nichols' piece:

If you follow PTI at all, you know that Heather has a very distinct style. She is an amazing stamper {and stamp designer!} and I haven't seen anyone else quite like her! I used CP Sketch #13 for this card.



So, here is my card based on the inpiration piece that Heather choose and CP Sketch #13:



Photographing this card was truly the challenging part! I have never quite mastered this skill, but this one was more difficult than most. The ribbon has a slightly shiny texture and the flash was really reflecting on it. Anyway, this is as good as it gets, since the sun has long set and the PTI challenge ends by morning!

Thanks for stopping by!
