Love You

Papertrey April Blog Hop






It's April 25 and time for another PTI Blog Hop!
Our inspiration is below.




I was drawn to the floral bouquet on the bottom tea cup, the curvy gold edges of the china and the subtle pattern of the background. My paternal grandmother who was not the least bit domestic had a set of china like this. My mom was totally into homemaking but used very modern, graphic patterned dishes, not one floral in her cupboards. Me, I'm a happy-in-between gal with my favorite set of Portmerion Botanic Garden dish ware!





Card Parts - all PTI: 
  Butterfly Blooms (sentiment)
  Stitching Garden stamps & dies
  Mix & Mat: Flourishes die (outer frame only)
  Aqua Mist Bitty Big & vellum card stock

  11. Vikki, the idea of using my new Stitching Garden Stamps and dies entered my mind, too. However, I didn’t want to rush myself first time using them. Hope they are easy to line up. Your card is stunning and love the flowers on the vellum frame.
