July Blog Hop with PTI

Edited to upload a photo of the card that I "cannibalized" to make my blog hop card.





Have you ever?
Cannibalized a card to get the product you need to make another?
That is exactly what I had to do tonight to make a card for PTI July Blog Hop. I was so inspired I had to look around once again and find some vellum. For our 10th wedding anniversary we renewed our wedding vows and I made the invitations all 100 plus had this swirl vellum on the front so this is what I used to layer over the Guidelines DP. I found some scraps to stamp the flower on then cut it out.

Below is the card that I used the Vellum off of...


Product list...
PTI Flower Garden Stamp Set
PTI Guidelines DP
PTI Plum pudding ink, ribbon and card stock
SU Old Olive card stock
basic grey buttons
