PTI January Blog Hop

Greetings! Tonight is the January blog hop with PaperTrey Ink and this month's challenge was to build up the birthday card stash. I decided to play around with Heather Nichols' latest stamp set, Around & About Sentiments.



I ended up having to work some this weekend, so my card is pretty simple. First I stamped the round "happy birthday to you" sentiment in dark chocolate on aqua mist cardstock. Then I stamped a solid circle (included with the set) with aqua mist in the center (hard to see in the photos). I punched out the image with a 1.5" Fiskars squeeze punch, added a flower brad to the center, and inked the edges. Three of these circles on a stitched berry sorbet panel complete the card front. The card itself is dark chocolate cardstock with an aqua mist panel framing the design. Finally I added tiny yellow flocked stickers to the corners (to hide my messy stitching!).
