Papertrey February Blog Hop

My card was inspired from these cards by Michelle Wooderson.

Wow, is it already the 25th again?! You know what the means…it’s the time for the Papertrey Blog Hop! This month we were called to find a card/project from a PTI DT member and use their project as inspiration. I found Michelle’s cards to be so inspiring. Love how fresh they feel!

For my take on the card I used the Funky Foliage stamp set for WPlus9. Such a fun set and these particular trees kinda look like shamrocks. ;) If you follow my blog you know that I love to add scraps/ strips of paper to my cards. As soon as I saw Michelle’s color combo and the fact there were strips of paper AND buttons, I knew I had to use her cards as my inspiration.

You may notice at the bottom of the card that I did some paper piercing. I love how a little tool can add so much to a card! Funny story: my sister was looking at this card IRL and asked how I added those “dots” (paper piercing). I told her that I did it by hand. She thought I was lying! She asked, “No, really. How did you do it?” I told her that I really did it by hand and it took forever. Her response? “Wow, that’s a waste of time”. Yeah….she just doesn’t get it. ;)

Thanks for stopping by, friends! I hope you were inspired!
