Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - September 2014

 The Papertrey Ink blog hop is today. Inspiration is a beautiful photograph uploaded to Pinterest by Sarah Jokisch Asbell.  You can see it here.  Isn't that the coziest looking sweater/jacket?! I want it!!! (unless it is wool, in which case - you can have it because I'm allergic).  :D

Nichole posted the photo on her blog and also included some possible color combinations as well as some sketches. (link opens in a new window...you can download a PDF of the "recipe cards" - I love that).

I kinda-sorta chose one of the color combos she gave -- I chose to use Autumn Rose and Smokey Shadow.  (And as I look at this photo -- the card front looks crooked...I promise in person it is not). I thought the 3rd sketch option was just begging for Round Repeats.  I used generational stamping with Autumn Rose and Smokey Shadow inks.  The stamped piece was mounted on Smokey Shadow, then put it on the front of an Autumn Rose card. I put a little bling in the middle, where the Round Repeats meet; it was looking a bit muddy and needed to be covered.  The sentiment is from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday and is stamped on Clear Cardstock.

I have another idea swirling around based on a Maile Belles card I've wanted to CASE for a while - so I'll probably be back later with that..
