Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop Challenge

I loved the inspiration photos from Nichole Heady's blog for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. Head over there and join in the challenge to use autumn textures, textiles & patterns in a project.

I put a few of my new PTI products to good use with this card.




My first step was to score a white card base for a faux corduroy look. I die cut "thankful" from a piece of Kraft cardstock that had been embossed with the Herringbone Impression Plate. To enhance the embossed pattern, I lightly inked over the top of the die cut.

The stamped sentiment is from the PTI Thanks All Ways stamp set and is tucked under a small panel stamped with the PTI Background Basics: Herringbone Stamp Set.

A little Baker's twine and the leftover piece from a zigzag border cut round out the pieces that were used to put together this card.

Off to check out all the other Blog Hop creations!

Thanks for stoppng by,

Jacquie

    I love the herringbone stamped like that on its side-- it really draws your eyes right to the sentiment! Great take on the challenge!

    This is wonderful~looks like we were both thinking to marry that herringbone and die. Great minds... ;)

    Love all the creative ways you used herringbone in this stamp. I agree with you that I am ready for school to start. I am going to go to a class at Paper Tales with the one and only Kim Hughes of Paper Smooches. Will I see you there?

    Jacquie,
    This is really innovative. How clever to dry emboss and then die cut the Thankful sentiment. I love the masculine colors. Also, thanks for stopping by and leaving me a sweet comment on my blog. ( - :
