Make It Monday #28 and CR84FN #36


Time for another Papertrey Ink Make It Monday.  This one is so cool.  Using dies as templates for glitter shapes/borders.  I didn't stop there with the glitter.  I added two more strips of glitter on either side of the ribbon.  This is a special birthday, a 50th!



I pulled the colors from the CR84FN color challenge.  Another great challenge that I participate in every chance I get.

It felt good to get in my craft room today.  Ryan and I had been away for a few days.  We took a trip to Lake Winnipesaukee, NH.  We had a great time and perfect weather!  I'll share a few photos soon!
See you later:)



Cardstock: PTI Lemon Tart, Kraft, Vintage Cream
Stamps: PTI Daydreamer, Half and Half
Ink: Versamark, Memento Black
Dies: Mat Stack 1
Other: MS Glitter, Scor Tape, Ribbon, Hole Punch, MS Liner Pen

OH, is this pretty! Your glitter looks perfect, very crisp and clean. I love the gold on the Lemon Zest, great combo!

Great card, Kara! Is this for a man? 'Cause the black ribbon reminds me of a bow tie, and the whole thing is a really stylin' 50th birthday card!
