Good morning, it's the 25th and you know what that means! Time for the PTI Blog Hop! I am on a serious CAS kick these days and I have two cards to share. My first one PTI's Botanical Silhouettes anniversary set. I absolutely loved the colors in the inspiration photo below and used them as an inspiration for my cards.
My second card is also inspired by the colors, but I pulled out just the top portion of the rainbow. I love how the PTI Simply Stationery set can be used to create a medallion of sorts. Lots of different options with this set. This set gets lots of use for making teacher gifts.
PS How many of your are going to the PTI event? Maureen and I are. I'd loved to meet you there...to say we're excited probably is the understatement of the year!
I think I might be hyperventilating over here after seeing your first card. How amazing is that? I love it! I love the bursts of colors. I love the idea. I love everything about it! And wow, your second card is just as awesome too, great inspiration this morning Lynn, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh my god, Lynn. You are on a mojo roll!!! I love these cards so much. Love that you didn't use the stems from the anniversary set. Love the medallion you made. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely kicking some CAS butt! Your first card is stunning! I love it! The colours and pattern are awesome and I love how you popped up that panel. The second one is awesome too - I have to take a look at that set. Have a fabulous day! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your cards are beautiful. I especially love the first one. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat? Us, excited!? I'm still not sleeping through the night!! LOL but I've got lots to keep me busy until then :) {and a shopping list to make!} OH, I need my anniversary set NOW! LOVE all the different colours and anything else added would jusst be too much :) I am totally checking out your stamps on the second card when I come!! hugs :) Okay, I'll admit it...I'm EXCITED!!!

Really like the way the flowers in the first card feel like fireworks. The gradient scheme just works to well to reinforce it too. Fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow! Gorgeous cards. The first one is my favourite - so much creativity and colour. I love it. Might be my favourite of the blog hop so far!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous... that first one with the blossoms that look like they're floating in the wind is just amazing, and I love the simplicity of the second one. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSooo pretty!! Both of them!! Love the color range of the flowers in the first, very nice!
ReplyDeleteOeh, I'm a bit jealous that you are going to the event... it would be too expensive for me, with me being in the Netherlands, but oeh, gosh, how I would looooove to go!!! Have fun!!
Hugs, Wendy
I love your cards!
ReplyDeleteThe first is so beautiful,thanks for inspiration!
These cards are striking in their simplicity, Lynn! I absolutely love the dandelion card in those colors, and the wispy way they are scattered across your card edges. I actually thought the second was from the new medallion set, can't believe you created that perfect pattern to create your own image, so cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of your design - it is colorful and energetic and simple and easy to mail. Super job!
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Great cards, Lynn! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your cards. Simple yet so lovely. I am so into CAS cards these days.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so fabulous!!! I love the dandelion heads on the first one and how you built the medallion on the 2nd. CAS perfection!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are GORGEOUS!! Gorgeous!! LOVE the dandelion flowers on the first in the rainbow of colors and the simplicity of the 2nd. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI love both of your cards! So pretty and elegant!
ReplyDeletewowie, zowie! I love your first take on that photo - the watercolor look is so beautiful. I had actually pinned that photo to use those colors later on, now I have lots of inspiration to look at. :)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful, but the top one is GENIUS!!! Love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteLove both of your PTI Blog Hop cards -- such unique looks inspired by the inspiration photo. Love how you used both of those sets... great "outside the box" sort of thinking. Your cards are making me want to head up to the stamp room and start playing! :)
ReplyDeleteThat first card is just gorgeous, love the colours, love the layout, love it all. FABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteHi,
