Oh how I'm loving my new PTI! I received an extra special package this week from my sweet (and ultra talented) friend, Andrea, so the polka dots on this card are compliments of the fun Year 3 Anniversary set from PTI that she sent me. Love 'em and can't wait to use more of the stamps. In the meantime, I need to get my Christmas on in a big way....but first, my travelling partner in crime's birthday is coming up next Tuesday and I needed to ship her gift off, which meant I needed to get a perfect card created for her!
My Signature Greetings set got some inky love and I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch 94 for the layout. I also used the colors from Color Dare 87. The challenge was Chocolate Chip, Perfect Plum & Concord Crush but since I don't have Concord Crush, I had to use Elegant Eggplant.
And here's a few pics from our trip to Mexico...

If only we'd had Ocean Views, this is what our rooms would've looked out to
As it was, I can't complain - we had +29 weather while Edmonton had -29. Aside from some child experiences which were good reminders of why I don't have kids, and a day of tequila/cerveza which is already forgotten, we had a wonderful time!
OMGosh! I don't know what I love more, that card or the photos :) :) :) Love the dots and how they match those pearls curving around the sentiment. You are the traveling queen lately...It looks so warm and beautiful and like you had an awesome time. Snow has finally arrived here, so those beautiful blue skies are what I need to see right now!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Tanny!! You did a fabulous job using the Color Dare colours! Love the sponging on the sentiment panel and PTI dots are too cute. Great use of that sketch too. You rocked this card :)
