PTI September Blog Hop

This is my first time participating in the PTI Blog Hop since they changed the rules so us girls in Europe can participate!



The challenge this month was to show off any skill you might have learned from a fellow stamper.

I have been following Jennifer McGuire ever since I can remember and she is actually the one who introduced me to PTI with these little cuties. I decided to use her embossing powder technique video for this card:

PTI Sept Blog Hop

20100925_0008

This is a pretty simple technique and I don't know why I never thought of using more than one color of embossing powder at a time before.

I also have to give a shout out to Michelle Wooderson (Mish) since I used her sketch from the September PTI newsletter.

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Round & Round, PTI Mega Mixed Messages, Hero Arts Flourish Background
Ink: VersaMark
Cardstock: PTI Lemon Tart, PTI Scarlet Jewel, PTI Terracotta Tile, Neenah Classic Solar White
Other: embossing powder

    Oh wow, I've never thought of doing that either. The effect is beautiful!
    Thank you for your comment on my blog, and to answer your question (don't know why I didn't include it in the post, DOH!), I used the 3 smallest dies, and in order from the smallest, it was 2, 3, 2 for the layers.
