Good morning! I hope your Sunday is off to a great start. We continue to enjoy beautiful weather here...if you look at my second photo you can see that our flowers are blooming. Much earlier than normal for us, but I'll take it! For this month's PaperTrey Ink Blog Hop, I was inspired by all the polka dots. I made the top card first and actually started with the little tiny brad that is attached to the bow. I got some new Stampin' Up ribbon and embellishments and had to use the brad. So...orange and green polka dots it was. I have to say I love the color combo!
Then...I got my PTI order on Friday and went very literal with this card below. I hope you like them both! I'm off to check out the other participants cards and go for a quick run! Hope you have a great Sunday.
love them both!! enjoy all of your good weather!!
ReplyDeleteIt's currently snowing out my window (and I'm not longer at the ski resort!!!). Love the polka dots on the half and half die (another item still on my wish list). And the brad works so perfectly with the first card.
ReplyDeleteThat little brad caught my eye first and I thought that it was a perfect match to the pattern paper and wondered how you made it!! LOL The raffia is a fun touch of texture!! ACK!! those party balloons are precious!
ReplyDeleteLove the balloons and how you did the strings....Adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both cards. I, too, love those circles.
ReplyDeleteOh that dotted card is so pretty and sleek, and that brad is a perfect match! Such sweet balloons, love all the different patterns against the yellow polka dots!
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards! It looks like that SU brad was made to coordinate with that background stamp set! Love the colors you used on it. On the second card, the dots on the tag look great with those balloons! Both work really well!

Fabulous cards, both Lynn. Love that you got inspiration from the 1st card by that little brad!
