A Passion for Papertrey: Raspberry Suite Challenge

Raspberry Suite Challenge

I loved Dawn's Raspberry Suite colour challenge this week - what a fabulous colour combination!

And here's my card:

I think I can safely say you haven't seen the last of these fabulous flourishes on here! I stamped the flourish with Vintage Cream ink onto Kraft cardstock. I haven't given my Heart Prints set much love recently so stamped and punched out a heart from the set, added a button and satin cream ribbon and sponged all the edges with distress ink.

Recipe:
(All PTI unless otherwise stated)

Stamps - Fancy Flourishes/Heart Prints
Ink - Vintage Cream/Dark Chocolate/Antique Linen Distress Ink (Ranger)
Card - Kraft/Vintage Cream/Dark Chocolate
Paper - 2008 Bitty Dots - Raspberry Fizz
Ribbon - Cream Satin
Other - heart punch (EK Sucess)/scalloped border punch (Fiskars)/Hibiscus Burst button/brown pearls

Have you seen the sneak peeks for the new releases?! I'm so excited about the basket set Nichole previewed today - I love stamps that I can colour!!

Thanks for visiting and don't forget our current challenge!

Welcome to A Passion for Papertrey - a place where lovers of Papertrey Ink can get together to share ideas, inspiration, take part in challenges and join swaps!

We're Kate, Aimes and Caryn - we all live in the UK and became friends thanks to our mutual love of all things Papertrey. We soon found out there were lots of other fans in the UK and Europe and thought there should be a corner of the web to bring us together.

Of course we welcome readers from around the world but our primary aim is to unite stampers who use Papertrey products from the UK and the rest of Europe.

Every fortnight we will set a challenge using Papertrey products AND at the end of each challenge we will randomly draw a winner who will recieve some Papertrey goodies! This may be a roll of ribbon, a selection of papers and matching cardstock or even a stamp set!!

We know that as it is an overseas company you may not have a large collection of stamps and Papertrey colours so these will be kept quite general.

For example if you don't have the Papertrey colours you could use one of their stamps and cardstock/papers from other companies, or get creative with just some Papertrey papers and ribbon - the main thing is to have fun!
