PaperTrey Princess Challenge #1











I am so glad to be back with the PaperTrey Princesses! Anya posted our first challenge yesterday morning and my brain has been working on this card ever since.

I used Quilter's Sampler and Daily Designs Sentiments for this card. The background is stamped with Faux Ribbon with the new and improved Spring Rain Ink. The scissors and thread were colored with my WONDERFUL Copic Markers. I used Palette Noir as my black ink. It was fun to use actual stitching on this card, a straight stitch around the "pinked" layer and a zig-zag on the "Friendship tag". The blue spool of thread is lifted up with a large pop-dot, giving some added dimension.

I know exactly which friend will be receiving this card. Anya, thanks for this beautiful Inspiration Challenge!
