Papertrey's August 2013 Blog Hop

This month, on Papertrey's Blog Hop Challenge, we were to choose a sketch, with an accompanying colour scheme. I chose the following:
                                                PTI-fast-food-5

My granddaughter is starting Grade 2 next week, and I wanted to make her a card to let her know that I will be thinking of her. As I was cutting out all the heart borders, I was wishing PTI had a border die that was all apples. Wouldn't that have been cool? And it would fit with the back to school theme even better! (Or maybe they do and I just don't know it...) However, all the hearts will hopefully show her how much her grandma loves her :) I will be out of town visiting my son and his family this weekend, so hopefully I can figure out how to upload this on my iPad on the 25th!

All supplies and materials are PTI. Thanks for looking!
Stamps: Back to School
Other: Heart Border die, Back to School dies, and PTI design paper and inks, Versafine Black Onyx.

  1. Oh, this is so sweet! What a great take on the colour combo and sketch-- I love how you used the heart banner die to make the stripes!

  2. Your 'pile' of hearts caught my eye in the thumbnail, and the card is even better close-up. Wonderful paper patterns together, and a wonderful pattern made by the negative spaces. I like the look of this so much, that I've saved a copy of your card to my folder of great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

  3. I'm so glad you figured it out, Kathryn! Your card is absolutely adorable and I like the hearts better than apples for just the reason you said. She will treasure this forever!!

  5. This is very similar to my first thought for this challenge. The pattern papers made a big difference. I think it's great!
