Papertrey January Blog Hop

I couldn't resist the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop this month. It is called Pretty in Pink and, with Valentine's around the corner, it is a perfect theme.

I pulled out my Simply Jane stamp set & dies and some Soft Stone, Sweet Blush, and Hibiscus Burst paper .  This what I came up with:




I drew in some grass at the bottom of the frame and used Meadow Greens for the "tree" in the background because I pictured Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth out for a walk like in that last scene of the movie version of Pride and Prejudice. "You have bewitched me, body and soul..." Swoon!

I embossed the frame with the Woodgrain Impression Plate. Some Perfect Pearls in Pewter was dusted lightly on the frame give a little contrast.  I added some ribbon, a flower, and a doily. I added Clear Rock Candy Dry Stickles to the figures so they would stand out but still show the Hibiscus Burst color of the paper.


Die-cut leaf is from Meadow Greens

All products are from Papertrey Ink except: Perfect Pearls, Stickles, ribbon, flower and doily.

I made a second card (not part of the Blog Hop but thought I'd share) because I just could not stop using the stamp set:

  2. Both of your cards are absolutely beautiful and I'm going to send your link to my daughter who absolutely loves that line from Pride & Prejudice. I bought this set just so I could make cards for her, so thank you so much for some great inspiration! :0)

  3. Great card, I can see imagine Jane and Mr. Darcy talking under the trees on the woods.

  4. I just recently bought this set, mainly for the sentiments. Thank you for showing it in action. The second card is extra lovely. It looks like an old picture on a papered wall in Grandmother's house.
