Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

I love the 25th of the month! The crafty people who follow Papertrey Ink are so talented so it is so much fun to see everyone's take on the challenge. So, for this month it's all about text. Here is what the challenge is:

Taken from the Papertrey Ink website (written by Nicole Heady):
I have been experimenting a lot with text lately, whether it be in the form our or recent addition Background Basics: Text Style, some of our text patterned papers or even old book print. I'd like to see your twist on anything text integrated into a fun project! Cut it, punch it, tear it, distress it, paint it, ink it, brayer it, stamp it, stitch it, layer it. Use it as a background, border or a focal point. Use several text styles on one project or just focus on a single look. Try a technique layered on top of text like emboss resist or watercoloring. You could even run it through an embossing folder. Most of all, have fun and experiment! Branch out and try something new! We look forward to seeing all of your fabulous creations!

It was a challenge for me just to use text on a card...I did have Background Basics: Text on hand so that is where I started. I bought this set when it came out and I'm ashamed to say it has never seen ink til today.


I stamped the print text onto Kraft cardstock and embossed the flourish over the text with clear embossing powder. I also embossed the scripty text on my flower petals with clear embossing powder. Once I started embossing, I couldn't stop! LOL


I used Papertrey Inks Vintage Touch ink around my petals and also on the Polka Dot cardstock layer....which those polka dots are embossed, too... I couldn't help myself!

Thanks for stopping by!
