Papertrey Ink July Blog Hop

Well it's time again for the Papertrey Ink monthly blog hop. Where is the time going?

This month is another inspiration picture, the colours are just gorgeous so I decided to make that the focus of my cards.

The first card I created was a CAS Clean & Simple & used the Mehndi Medallions set from the June Release & the Thank You Sentiment from Botanical Silhouettes PTI Anniversary set.

 My second card had a little more work, but I love how it turned out. I have used the Hawaiian shores spotted paper as a background, cut a tag from Kraft card stock using the Tag Sale #3 die & embellished it with some Orange Zest felt flowers cut from the Beautiful Blooms #2 die & the stem from one the flower fusion stamp sets. The tag was then finished with a few buttons & some twine.
I have then mounted the tag onto the card & finished with a sentiment from the think big range stamped onto Velum.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards but it's off to bed for us in the Southern hemisphere as it's now after midnight, I hope to pop by & checkout every ones creations tomorrow.
Thanks for dropping by.

Happy Stamping
Fiona

    I love the color orange and your use of it for the flower on the tag is wonderful. Pretty medallions on your first card. Guess I'll be placing that stamp set in my cart soon!

    Fiona this looks great! I love the little polka dots on the paper, the vellum strip, and how you turned the tag at an angle. Great job :)
