PTI July Blog Hop

Another gorgeous photo as inspiration - memories of summer on a perfect winters day in Brisbane.

So the elements I took from this photo - obviously the colours and the pattern on the knee rug.  

Again, I need birthday cards, more for my daughter's friends so probably not this one. I used the Guidelines stamp set (new to me)  to imitate the rug and the vellum (in a very loose way) reminds me of the window.  

I wanted to gently border the sentiment so adhered a thin strip of dark chocolate behind.  The chandelier?  well,  it has been kicking around on my desk for so long, I thought it should be used before it got broken (they probably had a chandelier off camera!!)

Cardstock - PTI white, spring moss, dark chocolate, vellum

There is something classic and elegant about black and white, I have even used the combination for Christmas card.  So here is my contribution to One Layer Wednesday, christened my Guidelines set which I can see I will enjoy using alot.

Being Sunday I  hope it's a quiet day at home, but things have a way of changing ones plans.  We are having such beautiful spring weather here in Brisbane that it maybe time to get out in the garden later this morning.

What you need

Cardstock - SU Whisper White
Stamps - PTI Guidelines, Autumn Abundance (sentiment)
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black;  SU Rose Red
