Papertrey Ink: July Blog Hop



Hello friends-

Today is the monthly Papertrey Ink blog hop. Our challenge this month is to create a card based on the following image:

Doesn't this photo just say "summer" to you?  I found inspiration in the colors, textures and patterns of this charming window seat and came up with the following card.


I cut a window from a piece of Ocean Tides cardstock, embossed it with the woodgrain impression plate, and mounted it with foam tape to a piece of craft cardstock that I stamped with a morrocan tile.  The focal point of the card was created from Mat Stack 3 and Butterfly Dreams in Melon Berry and Ocean Tides.  I finished the card with a couple small melon berry buttons and a piece of green twine to tie in the fabric from the seat cushion in the photo.

Check out Nichole Heady's blog for all the deets and to hop along.  I am looking forward to seeing all the beautiful creations that everyone else has created. Thanks for popping by to visit!
