Our star!!

Happy Saturday peeps!! Guess what..... we have a star in our midst!!!!

I'm SO excited to tell those of you who haven't seen Nichole's Guest Star Stamper post, that our very own Aimes has won one of this month's categories!! I feel like a proud mum haha!! We all know how incredibly talented and creative she is so it really should come as no surprise... and it's not the first time she's won either!!! So a BIG congrats hun!!!!

This card was made for my lovely blogging buddy Caryn, and also is my very belated sample for our recent embossing challenge (what can I say... I was too busy sunning myself in California lol!)

Recipe:
(All Papertrey Ink)

Stamps - Say It With Style/Green Thumb/Background Basics: Text Style
Card - Ocean Tides
Ink - Versamar/Ocean Tides
Other - Black gingham ribbon/White Embossing powder

I love the effect of the white flowers embossed on the Ocean Tides background, which itself was stamped with the Background Basics: Text Style stamp. That has to be one of my favourite background sets!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Caryn said...: Kate, I LOVE this card - the embossing is just gorgeous. Thank you hunny.

AIMES - what a star. I was chuffed to bits for you when I saw your card over on Nicholes blog. It was an inspired design and well and truly worthy of it's top spot.

Hugs,

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!
