Papertrey Ink June 2013 Blog Hop Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a card for the PTI June Blog Hop Challenge, which was to use gold accents on your card.

My mom had asked me to make her a wedding card for an upcoming event she is attending, so here is my card.  I used a Freshly Made Sketch, #14, as an inspiration and made my card a 5.25 inch square.

Congratulations

Cloud9 June 2013 Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a card for you for the Cloud9 Blog Hop, featuring WPlus9.  Unfortunately it will be the last hop :(.  So this theme was Anything Goes, and I decided to use Embroidered Bouquet!

So for my card I decided to use white embossing powder like I have seen so many others do--it just really makes the flowers stand out.  I also used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and some ribbon trim.

Thank You
