January 2019 Blog Hop & MIM #348

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog....

I have a card to share today. I originally made it for the Papertrey Ink January 2019 Blog Hop, the photo inspiration shown below, but realized after it was finished that it would also work for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge #348 Lotsa Letters.



I found this to be a challenge indeed as I am not drawn to very graphic designs so I chose to simply work with the colours in the photo, namely black, white and soft pink.

I have used one of my very favourite stamp sets, Nostalgic Notions for the lovely little blossoms and leaves. Birthday Cheer die and stamp set and Thread Cards provided the sentiment and the balloons are from Birthday Balloons. 




I rummaged in my stash of gorgeous silk ribbon scraps and found the perfect piece just long enough to tie this pretty little bow. A couple of sequins for balance and all done.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave me your comments.

Have a wonderful day.  Cheers.

Melanie
