papertrey june blog hop challenge


Welcome to the Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop Challenge! This month's challenge was to make a card inspired by the Pinterest photo Nichole posted in this link, which in brief was chock full o' rainbow delight!

It has been over a month since I have made anything and I was really happy to be crafting again. I've rekindled my love of raspberry fizz after making this card!



The raspberry fizz card base was run through the Cuttelbug with the linen impression pate, and the rainbow strips of In Bloom patterned paper were glued to cardstock before die cutting them with the Mat Stack:



Happy Blog Hoppin'!

Supplies {by PTI unless otherwise noted}: Stamps: Wonderful Words (& die); Paper: white & raspberry fizz, In Bloom PP; Ink: rich razzleberry (SU!); Other: raspberry rhinestones, Mat Stack die, banner die, corner rounder, linen impression plate
