Okay, I am back! I spent so many hours on the phone today with my work colleagues since the fit hit the shan. OMG! I went back and forth on this one but then I realized I needed to just get it done so I would meet the PTI blog hop deadline (and wouldn't you know it that work called again a mere twenty minutes before time was up!). Oh yeah, and then there was getting those kids to bed (esp. since Brad is back in Toronto for the third week in a row!). So yep, I am here at last to give you the deets.
To begin, I was inspired by the Colour Q challenge this week (a minor miracle since colour challenges are not my forte). The minute I saw it I thought of Basic Grey's Indian Summer...sigh, so pretty! The PTI challenge was to use a never used or forgotten stamp. As much as I love the PTI stamps I own, they do not see the light of day near enough! In fact, while the kids have used this stamp from All About You Additions (the staining indicates as much), I never have! So I embossed it in white on kraft and then colored the centres to meet the colour palette dictates from the challenge. I used almost all Indian Summer DP save that swatch of polka dot paper which is from PTI. I added a Sizzlit flourish and some pearls, rounded the corners and added that touch of ribbon (I had to...I just couldn't have a card without ribbon!).
P.S. I so hope to get back into blurfing soon. I have not commented near enough as of late but I am working all. the. time!
