PTI Blog Hop!


Welcome!!

It's that time again!!! PTI is having their April Blog Hop today.

This month's blog hop is dedicated to all the boys and men in our lives! Now's your chance to create Father's Day projects, boy birthday cards and more to build up your stash! Focus on masculine color schemes, fresh pattern combinations, understated embellishments and unique uses of images you may already have in your stash!

This was a great theme for the blog hop, as this past month's release was dedicated to all the men and boys in our lives. Although we got a bunch of new, more masculine stamp sets, the theme this month also pushed us to use our existing stamps in a more masculine way. This is exactly what Robin did with this fabulous card. Instead of coloring her favorite hot air balloons, she chose to paper piece them. I love the way they came out! She also popped the largest one with the thickest pop up dot and the middle one with a slightly thinner adhesive. The smallest balloon was adhered directly to the card. This gave the card an incredible amount of depth and it really looks as if the balloons are simply flying through the sky! I love it!!

Hope you enjoy!

    Using the blue circle for your background is brilliant! Your card is detailed, but still clean and simple. Great job!
