Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop

It has been so so long since I last participated in a Papertrey Ink blog hop! The photo inspiration for this month MADE me play along, and I'm so glad I did. If navy stripes are involved, I think nautical. And if nautical is involved, I think I NEED THAT.


Can somebody make these in adult size 7 1/2 please? 


I started with the bold navy and cream stripe pattern paper from DCWV "Seaworthy" stack. I stamped a lot of flowers and leaves from PTI - Ruby Rose on some woodgrain pattern paper that came in the same stack. They were all fussy cut and set aside for an hour while I decided what to do next.


Then I remembered the Make in Monday Challenge was "bring the inside out" so I used that as even more inspiration. I die cut an off-set circle from the front of the card only. I also created a mask to lay over the inside of the card while I stamped the checkerboard pattern (from PTI "On the Farm").


The Thanks sentiment from PTI - Wet Paint Cuts was die cut 4 four times from navy cardstock. I stacked them all together for more dimension and adhered it to the checkerboard circle. I found the "so much" stamp hidden in my PTI - Mini Blooms set and stamped it below. I really love the end result, even if it took 3 attempts to get here!

Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of the blog hop!
