PTI January Blog Hop~The Total Package



The challenge:
During this month's release there was a lot of chatter about the interior of cards and how they don't
always get the attention they need. This month's challenge is to create a card that has the "total
package". Create any style card you can dream up, then take it the next step. Embellish the interior
and adorn the envelope. You might even want to add a little something to the back of the card! Be sure
to take photos of ever aspect so we can all be inspired with what you create! We can't wait to see what
you make!

My Take: 
I had so much fun with this challenge!  I used stamps, copic air brush, spicas and of course my favorite PTI stamp set Vintage Picnic. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the hop!





Recipe:
Stamps: Vintage Picnic - Papertrey Ink
Cardstock: Kraft, Red Cover stock
Patterned Paper: Storytellers Americana
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black
Other: star jewels, Assorted markers - Copics, spica; spellbinders dies, copic airbrush, offray ribbon
