PTI January Blog Hop

Today I'm participating in the January PTI Blog Hop.  We have a colorful collage image by Alex Ray for our inspiration this month.
And here is my card.
Everything accept the sequins are from PTI on my card today -  I used stamps from Watercolor Wonder and dies from Birthday Cheer and Tipped Tops Die set.  I adhered both panels over the card with foam dots so they both stand out.  Given the colors, this would make a great masculine card or it would also be a good card to give to co-workers or artists!

I'm sure there is a lot of colorful inspiration over at Nicole's  Papertrey Blog where everyone is linking their Blog Hop cards -  I'm off to take a peak!
Stamps:  Watercolor Wonder-  PTI
Paper:  White, True Black - PTI
Ink:  Orange Zest, Blueberry Sky - PTI
Accessories:  Dies - Birthday Cheer, Tipped Tops - PTI, foam dots, Sequins - Shaker Mix Vanilla Frost - Waltzingmouse.

I LOVE the way you used watercolor wonders on your card! You could make this card over and over in any color combination! Nicely done Julia!

Nancy Penir said...

Just in awe with your take. The layout has movement and beautifully frames the sentiment. Just brilliant, Julia!

What a great card Julia. Love the brush strokes in blue and orange... the black die-cut word looks great on the colors. Nice take on the photo. Can I ask you if you used anything between the card stock and word die? I have the same set but having a hard time with the thin dies. The cardstock gets stuck inside and I often tear the paper getting it out... any suggestions? buzsy@yahoo.com
