My Very First Post

Hi anyone out there.  Here is my inaugural post with a card I made for a co-worker who is celebrating her 25th anniversary with the company next month.  I had a lot of fun creating this card along with the help of both Emmy and Elizabeth who assisted in the colors and overall design.  The card is a standard A2 size card cut out of ivory cardstock and inked the edges with creamy brown chalk ink.
Using Beautiful Blooms II from Papertrey Ink, I clear embossed a flower pattern onto Orange cardstock.  I cut the "25" out of the same embossed orange paper and adhered it to the bottom corner of a piece of BoBunny's back to basics Vicki B patterned paper.
The ticket was cut and stamped from Papertrey Ink's "Just the Ticket" die and stamp set.  I used Jenni Bowlin ink in Brown Sugar and Stick Candy to stamp the elements as well as Tattered Rose Distress Ink by Tim Holtz for the stars in the back ground.

I am having so much fun with the Papertrey Ink stamps and dies.  I just ordered some of the new August releases which are mostly Halloween and fall focused.  Can't wait to start playing with them.  They are just too cute.

Well, I think my first post went pretty well.  If you happen upon this blog and wish to leave a comment, or provide any helpful hints for a brand new blogger...please feel free!

Thanks a bunch!

Cindy B.
