PTI June Blog Hop & MIM #72 - Take 2





This month's PTI Blog Hop challenge is to gleam inspiration from the above photo and use it to create a project!  I simply swoon over this color combination.  Isn't it just lovely?

My card also fits the PTI Make It Monday challenge, which is to make a project with a handmade embellishment.  If you would like to check out the challenge for yourself, you can do that here.




This card started with the gray wood stamped panel.  Then I wanted to use a yellow butterfly to resemble the yellow ruffle pillow.  I worked for a really long time trying to make it work.  It just wasn't.  So, the card made a major transformation.  I decided to use a rejected stamped panel from my first June Blog Hop card and die cut a wine bottle tag out of it.  I punched out circles and then backed the tag with a piece of yellow card stock so that the yellow would show through.  I created my stacked butterfly ala Dawn McVey.  Love how she does that!


Aside from the hole punch, A*Muse Ink, and some Copics, all supplies are by PTI.

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!
