Good morning! It's the 25th and that means its time for another PaperTrey Ink Blog Hop. I have to admit the inspiration photo stumped me a bit this month. I kept looking at the colors of the stripes and the depth the stripes created, but couldn't decide what to do. So...for this card, I kept it very simple. I decided to use glitter to try and create a bit of depth with much softer colors. I then added my new Congrats stamp (love the font and the size...look for this to be used a lot). And the rest was history...added some flowers and a couple of gems. I also have to share that this is my first order of Vintage Cream cardstock...how I did without that I'm not sure (Thanks Moe for introducing me to it...I am now addicted!)
For my next card, I tried to use create the depth of the stripes by using negative images of the dies. I ignored the colors from the inspiration photo, but tried to create the depth. Does that make sense? What do you think? :)
Happy blog hopping! Can't wait to see all your gorgeous creations!

Lynn these are two wonderful cards! I LOVE your congrats card. The glitter colors are perfect and elegant. I cannot believe that you didn't have Vintage Cream cs before now. You'll be ordering more before you know it.
OH, wow!! You've really used LOTS of your new goodies ;) Love all that glitter!! LOL and LOVE the negative image of those mat stacks :) Very cool. I am here waiting for the link to go live so we can start the day...I might miss it if Tony gets up soon and wants to leave! LOL

Great Christmas card (love the depth you created!), but ADORE that first card -- so BEAUTIFUL!!!

Love the soft subtle colours of thelines in our Congrats card. Very pretty.
Both cards are wonderful. Such a great take on the challenge.
Love the glitter~
Both cards are great. I had trouble with this inspirational image too. Didn't like the colors. I love the colors you chose for the first card. The glitter is neat too.
for the Chrismas card, I love how you added the depth with the negative image. Great!!
I like both cards but the first one is my favorite! Love how you used glitter on the stripes.
Wonderful cards!!
Two fantastic cards, Lynn! I just love those glittered strips and soft blues on your congrats card, and the negative die cuts on your holiday card are so fab. I can't wait to get the holiday lights set!
Two lovely cards Lynn... love seeing the different things you picked up from the photo :)
Really beautiful cards Lynn! Love the first one a lot...great color combo. :)
Wonderful cards. I love the softness and glitter lines in the first card. What a great way to use the dies in the second card (note to self, get that layerz die!).
Fantastic cards Lynn, and I very much like the glitter in both cards!
