Papertrey Ink - Create Along with Us

This week at Papertrey Ink the theme is to create along with us.  The challenge - to make a card using inspiration from the design team.  The inspiration for my card came from Dawn McVey.  It's a very clean & simple design, but as Dawn posted it has a lot texture.

Here is Dawn's card.

For my card I used the recently released stamp & dies from PTI called Forget Me Not.  This is the first time I have inked up these stamps and I think this is now one of my favorites.  The sentiment was also stamps and dies from PTI called Graceful Greetings II.  I think these are really elegant and will be using these a lot in the future.  I used a vertical striped embossing folder from Stampin Up, which is a little hard to pick up on camera.  Last I added a little bling and some Stickles to the center of the flowers.

Here is my take on Dawn's card.

 Have a great weekend...

  5. Lovely. The dry embossing shows up perfectly, BTW. I love the Forget-Me-Not set, and I've made a few cards from it, but I haven't tried putting Stickles in the centers. I like it!
